Koksijde is! Koksijde, with its 21.371 inhabitants, is situated at the west coats of Flanders (Belgium) and has 3 seasite resorts: Sint Idesbald, Koksijde and Oostduinkerke (7,8km of coastline). At the inland, there is also a picturesque polder village, Wulpen. Koksijde (surfaces of the area 4395 ha) is with its vast nature reserves, also a paradise for those who are fond of walking and cycling. The main ‘economics’ is tourism.
Project Sintropher • As Koksijde is very depending on tourism, accessibility of our community is very important. • Also for the inhabitants, a good connection to public • transport is very crucial (home-work, airport,..) • Main accesses: • - By car: A18 (Highway) • By tram: coastal tram (Knokke - Oostende – De Panne) • - Railway stations of Oostende and De Panne are good connected to the coastal tram • By train: railway station Koksijde is laying on the territory of Veurne and the station (building) is not owned by the NMBS • Connected tot Koksijde with the bus (+/- 1h frequency) • By bus: Line 68/69 (Oostende – Veurne) • ... • By plane: in the future • By boat: in the future
