*************

Oostduinkerke is a place in the Belgian province of West Flanders, where it is located on the southern west coast of Belgium, so that part of it is a seaside resort.

Once a municipality of its own, Oostduinkerke now is a sub-municipality in the municipality of Koksijde.

The name "Oostduinkerke" translates as 'East Dunkirk'. The town originally shared its name with the city of Dunkirk in current-day France ; therefore, in the 13th century, 'Oost-' was added to its name to avoid confusion with its namesake further to the west.

Oostduinkerke lies amidst a dune area (approximately 2.4 km2), which is now a protected nature reserve.

To go for walks in the nature reserves (7 km2) or on the beach (8 km) or on the promenade (3.6 km) is a refreshing experience. The sandy beach stretches from 250 to 700 m at ebb-tide and extends over 30 km, via De Panne to the beach of Dunkirk (France), which explains why Oostduinkerke is popular with sand yachters and parakarters.

Koksijde (French: Coxyde, West Flemish: Koksyde) is a town and a municipality in Belgium. It is located on the North Sea coast in the southwest of the Flemish province of West Flanders.

The municipality comprises apart from Koksijde, the villages of Oostduinkerke, St-Idesbald and Wulpen.

On January 1, 2006, Koksijde municipality had a total population of 21,269 on a total area of 43.96 km² (17 sq mi), which gives a population density of 484 inhabitants per km² (1251/sq mi).

Since 1995 Marc Vanden Bussche has been mayor of Koksijde.
