The Kusttram
About
The Kusttram, Belgium’s iconic coast tram, winds its way along the North Sea shoreline from De Panne in the south to Knokke‑Heist in the north. Spanning 67 km, it is the world’s longest metre‑gauge tram line and offers one of the most scenic rail journeys in Europe. Trams run every 10 minutes during the busy summer season (every 20 minutes in winter) and visitors can hop on at any of the 67 stops to enjoy beachside views, charming seaside towns and the gentle dune landscapes of De Haan. Low‑floor CAF Urbos trams provide easy boarding, spacious seating, and a smooth ride, making the Kusttram popular among families, train enthusiasts and tourists seeking a relaxed, picturesque trip along Belgium’s coast.
