Knokke-Heist became famous as a fashionable resort, where high society party-goers, family tourists, and those wishing to escape from the hustle and bustle will find a place in the sun. In summer, beach bars, water sports, rent of striped umbrellas and sun loungers are reopened on the city beach. In the northeast, beach infrastructure is giving way to surf schools and sports clubs, while the Zwin Nature Reserve is located near the Dutch border, which is suitable for walking and cycling.
