Ostend is a city that has a heart for gays. There is even a special “gay policies coordinator”. So, come to Ostend and take in the open atmosphere and the nightlife.
Apart from the delicious food served in the restaurants, Ostend enchants its visitors with its inviting beach and the coast has something to offer for every taste. If you want to go out in the evenings, there's no need to sing the blues: with five bars, cruising and dancing clubs as well as a sauna, this town offers more than you would expect, considering its size. Hitting the town is a unique experience and there is always a great atmosphere.
Ostend has a large holebi (homosexual, lesbian & bi) community. A plethora of events are organised, such as the yearly Rainbow Week and monthly gay movie nights.
