10° Route 2. OSTEND. Practical.
if situated on the Digue, are very dear, and should be secured
beforehand through an agent (comp. p. 41) by families visiting these
resorts at the height of the season. But for single travellers they
represent little if any saving. Heyst and most of the small resorts
are cheaper and quieter.
The coast is everywhere very flat. Mixed bathing is the uni-
versal rule. Tents and chairs (5-10 c.) may be hired on the beach;
or the sea-air may be enjoyed on the piers or ‘estacades’. On Sun-
days and holidays the larger resorts are apt to be unpleasantly
crowded with excursionists. There is little or no boating to be had
except at the larger places.
