EBOS is one you have to do, certainly in summer. I landed there a few times in a C152, with a 747 8 miles out as number 2. The marshaller gives you a drive from the GA parking to the office. When leaving the terminal, just go walk straight ahead, cross the street, and after a few hundred meters you're on the beach. Also nice restaurant in the terminal.
It looks simple and it is simple, just call Ostend Approach 10 minutes before entering the TMA or CTR. They will let you enter the TMA via a VFR reporting point, so just plan one of them in advance as a waypoint and you're safe. If you come from direction UK, just switch over to Ostend Approach mid channel.
Brugge is possible with train/bus, but Ostend itself is easier and has everything you need. Search for restaurant 'koekoek' in Ostend, they serve marvelous chicken.
