Middelkerke

Middelkerke extends along the North Sea coast with a 75 square kilometer area, including several villages and agricultural lands between Ostend and Nieuwpoort.

The settlement, first documented as Middelkerca in 1218, transformed from a farming community into a municipality during the administrative reorganization of 1977.

The Noordzeecross cycling competition in February attracts international athletes and spectators to participate in the Superprestige cyclo-cross race series.

The municipality center at Spermaliestraat 18 handles administrative services for residents and visitors, with multilingual staff available during regular business hours.

In 1902, Middelkerke became the first municipality worldwide to implement continuous chlorination for drinking water purification, marking a major public health advancement.
