Parking in Blankenberge

Q: Where can you park and stay overnight with a motorhome in Blankenberge?

Yes, Floreal Camperpark Blankenberge on the Polderlaan is a motorhome-only park with paved pitches, electricity, water, a disposal point and wifi. Season: the park is closed in February and March. On public roads: camping is banned everywhere, so no levelling jacks, blocks under the wheels or extended awning.

Parking in Blankenberge at a glance:

Paid every day: in the paid zones of Blankenberge you pay all year round from 9am to 7pm, Sundays and public holidays included; the town has handed parking management to Optimal Parking Control (OPC), which also checks number plates with a scan car.
Colour of the zone: in the red zone in the centre you pay by the hour, the orange zones are edge-of-town car parks where a full day costs no more than €7.50, the purple zone is for short stays only and in the blue zone you park with a parking disc.
Car free centre: in July and August streets such as the Kerkstraat, the Koning Leopold III-plein, the Steenstraat and the Paul Devauxstraat are closed to traffic from 10am to midnight, so you cannot drive through them to the beach.
Private car parks: besides the town's parking zones there are private car parks, such as the Parking Centrum garage on the Kerkstraat and, in season, the car park at the Jules Soetestadion.

Beach parking

Because the Zeedijk promenade is closed to cars during summer days, these are the best places to leave the car for a day at the beach:

Park-and-ride car park SEA LIFE Blankenberge
- In the orange zone, by the aquarium on the Koning Albert I-laan
- Within walking distance of the beach
- A maximum of €7.50 a day.
Car park Emiel Moysonpad
- Orange zone near SEA LIFE
- Orange zone, a maximum of €7.50 a day.
Multi-storey car park Centrum
- Run by Indigo, at Kerkstraat 122 with 742 spaces, open day and night
- Walk down the Kerkstraat to reach the Zeedijk

Zeedijk closed: from 1 July to 31 August the Zeedijk is closed to all vehicles from 10am to midnight; on the 1st, 15th, 16th and 31st of those months it stays open until noon.
A full day by the sea: at €2.50 an hour the red zone soon adds up, so for a long beach day an orange zone car park with a €7.50 day ticket is cheaper.
By tram: the coastal tram has five stops in Blankenberge: Maritieme Zone, Markt, Station, Pier and Duinse Polders.

Free parking in Blankenberge

Neither the town nor OPC lists a free car park for visitors, but there are still ways to park without paying:

Blue zone: with a parking disc you can park free for up to 2 hours; the disc is required every day from 9am to 6pm.
Evening and night: charges apply from 9am to 7pm; outside those hours parking in the paid zones is free.
Visiting residents: if you stay with residents or second home owners in the blue zone, they can activate a parking voucher that lets you park near their home for 12 hours; each address receives 10 free vouchers a year.
Cheapest alternative: for a full day, choose an orange edge-of-town car park, where a day ticket costs €7.50.
