Sunbed rental in Blankenberge

Heading to the beautiful beach of Blankenberge and looking to catch some rays in comfort? Renting a sunbed (locally often called a strandstoel or ligbed) is the perfect way to upgrade your beach day from sandy to sophisticated.

Here is a quick, local guide to how it works so you can claim your spot in the sun without any hassle.

What to Expect

Blankenberge’s wide, sandy beach is lined with various private beach bars and rental concessions (stranduitbatingen). These areas are meticulously kept clean and offer a more premium beach experience.

When you rent a spot, you typically get:

• A comfortable, adjustable sunbed.
• A windshield (windscherm) – highly recommended, as the North Sea breeze can be quite lively!
• A parasol for when you need a bit of shade.

How it Works

1. Walk in and pick a spot: Most rental places operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Simply walk onto the terraced area on the sand or use our reservation form.
2. Find the attendant: A beach attendant (usually wearing a branded t-shirt or a waist bag) will come over to you once you settle in, or you can approach their main cabin.
3. Pay on the spot: You can usually rent by the half-day or full day. Most places now accept card payments, but it’s always a good idea to carry a little cash just in case.

Local Tip: If you want a front-row seat right next to the shoreline, aim to arrive before 11:00 AM, especially on sunny weekends in July and August!
