Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from the main Ostend Beach area. Head east on Zeedijk towards Oosteroever. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with the N34. Turn right onto N34 and follow the road for about 1.5 km. Take the exit towards Dorpsstraat, and follow Dorpsstraat for about 500 meters. The Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Duinenkerk will be on your left. Parking may be available near the church, but check for signs indicating parking regulations.

• Public Transportation

  For public transportation, take the local bus service from the Ostend Beach area. Look for bus line 5, which runs frequently from the city center to the church area. Board the bus at the nearest bus stop and ride until you reach the 'Dorpsstraat' stop. From there, it’s a short 5-minute walk to Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Duinenkerk. Be sure to check the latest bus schedule for any potential changes. A single ride ticket costs approximately €3.

• Walking

  If you're close to the church, walking is a pleasant option. From the beach, head towards the main road and follow the signs directing you towards Dorpsstraat. The church is located approximately 1 km from the beach. It should take about 15-20 minutes to walk there, and you'll enjoy the local scenery along the way.
