Headin' to the strand

Headin' to the strand
Getting a breath of fresh air by the sea and walking along the seal beach, a nice place to watch the sun set. You are surrounded by water on the 700 meter long breakwater, constructed to protect the Coast against storms

at the back the New Pier of Ostend which takes you into the water, the small beach is on the right where seals arrive, you walk past the lighthouse 'Lange Nelle' which is how the Ostend lighthouse is popularly called ~ has been a household name in Ostend since 1949. Consequently, the three light beams that are supposed to represent the letter O of Ostend in Morse code have been shining through the bedrooms and living rooms of several people living in Ostend for decades. Today, the lighthouse still serves as a beacon for shipping, but its light not only shines over the sea, but also inland, 360 degrees around
"The light of the 'Lange Nelle' has been a beacon on our Flemish coast since 1949. You can't take that light away from Easterners."

The fountain near the sea looks great! Ostend was the place I often sailed from for England- ages ago:-) There was a night train that got to Ostend in the morning....

Magnificent reflections of the water that give a lot of brightness to the photo.
This place reminds me, in due proportion, of a location located on the seafront of my city:
