De Westhoek, Nature reserve at the westernmost point of De Panne, Belgium.
This 345-hectare reserve encompasses diverse landscapes with dunes, beaches, forests, meadows, and marshes that support over 200 bird species and numerous plant varieties.
The reserve gained protected status to preserve its ecological importance, becoming a crucial conservation area for maintaining the Belgian coastal ecosystem.
