TRAVEL

To the beach, and back. From the first ride over to the last train home, there is more than one way to make it to Zeebrugge Beach. Take the train, come by bike, share a car, get dropped off or catch a late tram home. Choose the route that works for you and sort the practical part before the weekend begins.

BY BICYCLE

Cycling to the beach is one of the easiest ways to arrive. A dedicated bicycle parking area is located next to Zeebrugge-Strand station, just a short walk from the festival entrance.
 

Bring a lock and use the designated bicycle parking area. Follow the festival signage as you approach the beach, and take extra care when cycling home after dark.

BY CAR

Carpooling is encouraged whenever possible. It is an easy way to share the journey over, arrive together and keep the number of cars heading to the beach a little lower.
 

Parking tickets are available via the ticket shop while availability lasts. Exact parking locations and arrival routes will be shared closer to the festival.
 

Please do not drink and drive. Make sure your designated driver is sober, rested and ready for the journey home.

BY TAXI / KISS & RIDE

Taxis and kiss & ride use the designated drop-off area at Westerdam.
 

From there, follow the festival signage towards the entrance. Using the official drop-off point helps keep traffic moving smoothly around the beach and gets everyone to the right place.

BY TRAIN

Zeebrugge-Strand station is just a short walk from the festival entrance.
 

Regular NMBS/SNCB services connect the beach with stations across Belgium. Plan your journey ahead, then follow the festival signage from the station to the entrance.

BY TRAM / BUS 

A tram ride, a short walk, and you are there. Get off at Zeebrugge Strandwijk, the closest stop to the festival beach.
 

Plan your regular route via De Lijn.
