Blankenberge is the only seaside resort on the Belgian coast where the Zeedijk can be reached from the city center via stairs. Initially these were wooden stairs, but around 1850 the city council had bluestone constructions built at the end of the three main streets in the center: Weststraattrap, Bakkersstraattrap and Kerkstraattrap.
