Leffrinckoucke Promenade

Highlight • Cycleway

Very nice promenade and a great, flat beach to walk there. There is always a magnificent view of Dunkirk and the sea. Many scenes from the hit movie "Dunkirk (2017)" were filmed here. The Dewulf dunes are an additional attraction, here you will find several bunkers and the remains of the Côté de Zydcoote artillery works, a testament to history that is well worth seeing.

There are still artists

Highlight • Other

The bunker systems are contemporary witnesses and now lead a peaceful existence; some bunkers are slowly disappearing into the dune sand. Graffiti artists have immortalized themselves on some of the bunkers.

Dewulf Dune

Highlight • Beach

The immense Dewulf dune extends over nearly 300 hectares in the municipalities of Leffrinckoucke, Ghyvelde and Zuydcoote. It is home to a great diversity of fauna and flora, and has significant ecological value.

There are also military defense works on the site. Built during the 19th century, they were transformed by the Germans during the Second World War.
