Make sure to be in OST when the wind isn't blowing towards shore .... it blows the sewage back up the pipes and the toilets stink to hell.
And all the milk is UHT and the tap water tastes like cr@p as it comes from the sand dunes.
But please don't think Oostende hasn't got it's good points ..... such as the road out of it to France and/or the ferry out of it to UK!
