SURFERS PARADISE, KNOKKE-ZOUTE, BELGIUM

Surfers Paradise
GENERAL
Surfers Paradise is a surf club and bar located right at the beach. There you can find surfers, as well as windsurfers and kite-surfers. The locals are friendly. It is located next to a ruin of a large swimmingpool from the 50s. With only the cafe of the decaying pool site still operational, this is a very strange place, and it feels a little mad max like at least when the sun is behind clouds. It is located right next to the naturepark the Zwin.

SPOT RATING: 3***
(1- not so okay, 2-okay, 3-cool, 4-very cool, 5-the ultimate spot)
