Plopsaland Beach officially opens

Today, Carl Lenaerts, together with Mayor Wim Janssens, officially opened the new Plopsaland Beach on the beach of De Panne. The beach operation will further strengthen the offering for families staying at the Plopsaland Resort.

Published on 1 April 2026

Located just four kilometres from Plopsaland Belgium, Plopsaland Beach now allows visitors to rent beach chairs, sunbeds, parasols and windbreaks, offering a comfortable way to enjoy a day by the sea. This initiative fits within the continued development of the Plopsaland Resort as a fully-fledged holiday destination, which also includes Plopsaqua De Panne, the Studio 100 Theater, the Plopsaland Theater Hotel and Plopsaland Village.

 

Carl Lenaerts, CEO of the Plopsa Group:

“Plopsaland and the sea have been closely connected for more than 25 years. With Plopsaland Beach, we are now offering our resort guests an additional service during their stay on the coast. After a day full of attractions, shows or water fun, guests can now also enjoy a relaxing moment on our own beach.”

 

Wim Janssens, Mayor of De Panne:

“Plopsaland is an important driver of tourism in De Panne and attracts visitors from both Belgium and abroad. It is therefore very positive to see the park continue to invest in additional tourist experiences. At the same time, I would like to reassure everyone that the beach operation will fully comply with existing regulations, ensuring that the character of our beach is preserved.”

 

Plopsaland Beach is located at Halmenstraat in De Panne and will be accessible from the Easter holidays to all beach visitors and guests of the Plopsaland Resort.

Plopsa parks combine the magic of Studio 100 characters and more with the fun of many top attractions in a unique, themed environment. Together, the parks welcome more than 3.5 million visitors per year. Most of the activities are located in Belgium with 2 outdoor parks; Plopsaland Belgium and Plopsaland Ardennes, the indoor theme park Plopsa Indoor Hasselt and the water theme parks Plopsaqua De Panne and Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen. In addition to the theme parks and water parks, Plopsa also operates a Plopsa Shop in Wijnegem, Plopsaland Theater Hotel with 117 rooms, Plopsaland Village with 55 holiday villas and a camping site and the Studio 100 Theater in De Panne.

In 2010, for example, the group opened its first indoor park in the Netherlands, Plopsa Indoor Coevorden, and in Germany it acquired the Holiday Park theme park and rebranded the park to Plopsaland Deutschland. In addition, Plopsa continues to invest year after year. The range of attractions in the existing theme parks will be further expanded in the coming years, as will the number of locations where Plopsa operates.
