A coach with driver to Middelkerke and Westende: a day at the seaside with the group, with beach, promenade and the polders behind.
Middelkerke lies between Ostend and Nieuwpoort, with two seaside resorts, Middelkerke and Westende, and polder villages inland. A group comes here for the beach and the promenade, and if you like you can cycle or walk through the polders behind the dunes.
Middelkerke calls itself the municipality of comics: there are comic murals, such as Spirou in Westende and Lucky Luke at De Branding. The comic statues that stood on the Zeedijk promenade were removed at the end of 2025 for the renewal of the promenade and will not return there; they were due to move to a new park next to the Arthur De Greefplein. If your group wants to see them, check beforehand where they are now.
Enter your trip and you will see the prices of the participating coach companies side by side, including companies from the Netherlands that drive in Belgium. The Flemish coach companies on this page are not taking part yet: they are listed without a price with your trip, and you can invite them from there.
Driving from the depot is part of the price of every trip, so a company that is close by usually starts lower. These 10 are within 50 km:
Measured as the crow flies from the centre. Which one is cheapest also depends on the vehicle and the date.
There is no fixed price per town. What you pay depends on the distance, how long the driver works, the type of coach and the day. Driving from the company’s depot is part of the price too: a company close by usually starts lower.
Enter your trip in the form at the top and within 1 minute you will see the prices of the participating coach companies, without obligation.
For a school trip a weekday outside the holidays is often the quietest choice, on the road as well. Agree with the driver where the group gets off and where the coach waits during the day: an underground car park is usually too low for a coach.
As the source puts it, with the day we read it. A municipality can change a rule or a spot: check the source’s page again just before your trip, and agree the spot with your coach company.

You don’t pick a type yourself: enter how many you are, and the comparison shows the coaches that fit.
10 companies have their depot within 50 km of Middelkerke, nearest first. Those not yet on BusOffer hire out a coach with driver according to their own website, but are not taking part in BusOffer.com yet: you will not see prices from them here, only what is publicly known about them.
A coach does not drive on the promenade. Where it stops and waits, you agree with the coach company: on the municipality's website, on that of De Kust and in the municipality's parking regulations we found no fixed place for coaches, so we do not give one here.
Not in Middelkerke: in Flanders only Antwerp and Ghent have a zone.
