Shrimpfishermen on horseback

In former years the sight of southwester capped fishermen riding on draught horses was commonplace along the shores of Belgium, the Netherlands, north-eastern France and eastern England. Today you will only find a handful of them in one place: Oostduinkerke, one of the most charming beaches on our coast.

In december 2013 Unesco recognized shrimpfishing on horseback as intangible cultural heritage.
