The beach season along the Belgian coast is slowly kicking off, but the stability of the popular beach cabins is raising concerns. As of 2025-05-21 17:52:00, many cabins are sinking into the sand, with some even blown over by strong winds. This unexpected issue is catching the attention of locals and visitors alike.
- Seizoen aan kust start langzaam op
- Strandcabines zakken weg door harde wind
- Noordoostenwind blaast zand constant weg
- Droog en zacht zand vergemakkelijkt wegwaaien
- Cabines worden scheef en deuren klemmen
- Waakzaamheid nodig om kantelen te voorkomen
Koksijde’s head of the beach and swimming pool department, Korneel Boeve, explains that a combination of persistent northeast winds and dry, soft sand is causing the problem. The wind consistently blows sand away from one side, making the cabins less stable and causing them to tilt or get stuck.
So, what does this mean for beachgoers and cabin owners this season? The situation calls for vigilance to prevent further damage and ensure safety along the coast.
Why are the beach cabins sinking now, and how serious is the issue? The combination of weather and environmental factors is key. Could this affect the overall beach experience? Possibly, but measures are underway to manage the situation effectively.
- Strong northeast winds remove sand from one side, destabilizing cabins
- Dry conditions make sand soft and prone to erosion
- Cabins often tilt, causing doors to jam and increasing risk of collapse
- Local authorities are monitoring cabins to prevent accidents
Looking ahead, beach managers and cabin owners must stay alert to changing weather and sand conditions. Regular inspections and timely adjustments will help keep the coastline safe and enjoyable for everyone this summer. Are you ready to enjoy the beach season responsibly?
