Ostend boasts arguably one of the least picturesque coastlines in the world.

Yesterday, we had a little outing with the grandchildren to the Belgian Coast, braving the unpredictable Belgian weather. As we strolled along the Pier of Ostend, I was drawn to the heavy sky looming over the coastline. Yes, Ostend's coastline may lack the traditional allure of pristine sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, and it has been described as one of the ugliest in the world. But hey, we had fun, and the ever-changing weather treated us to a spectacle of dramatic clouds dancing in the sky. In just one hour, we experienced the whims of nature – rain, sun, threatening clouds, and gusts of wind – Ostend, Belgium
