The charming dune pavilion, also known as the "spioenkop," is an iconic landmark in the dunes of Bredene near beach post 4. This pavilion is not only a symbol of the local beach culture but also reflects a centuries-old coastal tradition. In addition to its role as a viewpoint, the spioenkop offers visitors a stunning view of the sea and the beach.

Fisherman's Chapel Our Lady of the Dunes
In the tranquil surroundings of Bredene, at the corner of Kapelstraat and Klemskerkestraat, lies the picturesque Our Lady of the Dunes Chapel, built in 1736. This historic chapel serves as a place of reflection for fishing families who pray for the protection of their loved ones at sea. The interior is filled with photographs of missing fishermen, flowers, and holy cards, reflecting the community's strong bond with the sea.
Next to the chapel is a serene Marian grotto with burning candles. Here, open-air masses take place on Saturdays in July and August. Every year, on the third Sunday in May, a pilgrimage is made to this spiritual heart of Bredene, followed by a Eucharistic celebration that brings the community together.
