It is also good to stay in De Panne for the horse lover. The beach, the woods and the agricultural hinterland are just perfect for horse rides. In the surroundings there are different equestrian routes defined which are taking you along the meadows, woods and the beach.
Do you want to get horseback riding with your own horse in and around De Panne? In the surroundings there are different parking facilities for horses. There are also riding schools which are renting horses.

During this period, horses are not allowed between the municipal boundary with Koksijde and the riding path at the H. Conscienceplein and on the remaining part of the beach outside of the riding paths.
