Hotel Les Mouettes — the pearl of the Belgian coast
On the first line of the sea in the cozy town of Wenduine sits Hotel Les Mouettes — the only hotel in this resort town that can boast a direct view of the North Sea. Its address is Zeedijk Wenduine 7, 8420 Wenduine, De Haan, Belgium. The online webcam installed on the hotel grounds allows you to watch the life of the beach and the sea in real time, without leaving your home.
The hotel offers its guests 28 comfortable rooms equipped with bathrooms, flat-screen TVs with international digital channels, minibars, and safes. For those who enjoy active recreation, bicycle rentals are available, and for those who prefer to relax — spa services (for an additional fee). There are 4 beach bars and a restaurant on the premises where you can enjoy local cuisine.
Wenduine Beach — the princess of the Belgian coast
Wenduine is rightly called the "princess of the Belgian coast" — it is a quiet family resort town with a population of about 4,000 people. Unlike the noisy neighboring resorts, an atmosphere of calm and tranquility reigns here. Wenduine Beach (Strand van Wenduine) stretches along the North Sea coast and offers a wide sandy shore, ideal for walks, beach games, and family vacations with children.
The Hotel Les Mouettes webcam shows exactly this beach — with white wooden beach cabins, a yellow lifeguard tower, and a red rescue boat on the sand. In the sea, wooden breakwater groynes extending into the water are visible, and on the horizon — silhouettes of ships sailing along the North Sea.

You can get to Wenduine in several ways. From Ostend, a large city on the Belgian coast, the Kusttram coastal tram runs to Wenduine — this is the most scenic route along the North Sea. You can also use a taxi or a car. The cheapest option will cost about $3, and the fastest will take just 16 minutes.
From De Haan, where the hotel is located, a bus runs to Wenduine every 30 minutes, with a travel time of 10–15 minutes. Bus No. 49 passes right next to the hotel, making it convenient for guests. The distance from the center of De Haan to the hotel is about 4 km.

Also in the vicinity of the hotel are Badelijn Court, the City Theatre of Bruges, and the Lamp Museum.

De Fonteintjes Nature Reserve
The De Fonteintjes Nature Reserve is a narrow strip of dunes between Blankenberge and Zeebrugge, offering an amazing diversity of wildlife and plant life. The name translates as "Little Fountains" — due to the many small dune ponds that create a unique landscape.
The reserve is home to many species of birds, making it a popular spot among ornithologists. Historic hiking trails have been laid out here, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature. Entry to the reserve is free, making it accessible to all visitors.
Unique features of the view from the hotel window
The unique feature of Hotel Les Mouettes is that it is the only hotel in Wenduine with a direct view of the North Sea, including sunsets. Guests can watch the sun set below the horizon, painting the sky in orange and pink hues, as waves gently roll onto the shore.
The online webcam transmits this beauty in real time, allowing viewers to feel as if they were there. The camera pans across the wide beach, showing seasonal changes in activity on the coast — from bustling summer days to peaceful winter walks.
What you can see on the camera
The Hotel Les Mouettes webcam shows a view from above of the sandy North Sea beach. In the foreground on the right are rows of white wooden beach cabins.

A yellow lifeguard tower is set up on the beach, a red rescue boat lies on the sand, and signal flags are displayed.
In the sea, you can see waves rolling in toward the shore and a wooden breakwater groyne extending into the water. On the horizon, the silhouettes of ships are visible. At the bottom of the frame, the roofs of coastal buildings can be seen. The online camera allows you to observe all of this in real time, creating a sense of presence on one of the most beautiful beaches in Belgium.
