At first sight it may seem a heap of scrap metal, but in fact these are the stripped remains of the British steamer “H.M.S.Crested Eagle” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk). The wreck is a tragic reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation: operation Dynamo. The Crested Eagle run aground on May 29, 1940 after being attacked by German dive bombers and set on fire, killing 300 soldiers and crew.
Operation Dynamo: between the 27th of May and the 4th of June of 1940, some 338.000 mainly British, but also French and Belgian troops were evacuated from the beaches as they fled a German advance towards the coast. The rescue was regarded as a success but there were also around 90,000 killed, wounded or taken prisoner. During the operation 243 ships were sunk and the RAF lost 106 aircraft.
The shipwrecks on the beach of Zuydcoote can only be seen at spring tides. This shot was taken during low tide on April 1st, 2018 #BeachTips! #BVSBlue #LocalSecrets #Trovember #History

"Das Apartment, die Freundlichkeit der Vermieter und natürlich der unvergleichliche Ausblick machten unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich. Der Strand liegt wirklich direkt vor der Tür, Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar."

"Die Ferienwohnung ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp: typisch belgischer Stil mit charmantem Ambiente, sehr sauber & gepflegt, Küche ist super ausgestattet für kleine Urlaubsgerichte, der Meerblick ist einfach atemberaubend, direkt an der Strandpromenade gelegen, traumhafte Location für Strandliebhaber. Klare Empfehlung "

It gave us a good Base for our Trips to explore the Coast of the Dünkirchen- area with ITS historical Monuments and typical kitchen in many lovely Restaurants"

"It's a really nice appartement with a beautifull view to the sea."

"Wir haben es uns nach unserem Gusto eingerichtet, nebenan wurde eine Haus abgerissen - der Lärm hat schon gestört. Wetter und Strand einfach toll."

"We very much enjoed our stay of 3 nights. The apartment was very nice and clean. The sleeping couch was very comfortable. Having breakfast and dinner on the balcony were our highlights with view to the beach. . The Concierge of the building was very, very nice, gave us all the info we needed. The building has a Swimmingpool, and an underground secure parking. The area was just beautiful. We will probably go back. Thanks to our Olga who gave us all the things we needed to know before our trip."

"Short one night stay before travelling on, we arrived very late but the reception staff was extremely friendly and understanding. We had a family room which was very spacious, clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable, a welcome treat after a long journey! The continental breakfast was also generous and delicious. Would definitely recommend a stay here, and no doubt we'll be returning! "

"Only issue was using our navigation car system to access the hotel. It was telling us to drive the wrong way down a one way street. Very confusing, but was directing us to the parkade which was not easily visible. Little stressful. Had to park the car and walk to the hotel lobby to have things explained. Others were at the front desk with the same issue. But hotel is quite lovely!"
