Zeebrugge beach flowers
Stalls on the beach where children trade flowers wrapped in crêpe paper for shells during the summer months? This unique tradition on the Belgian coast is also Intangible Heritage.
Crêpe paper, little wooden sticks and metal wire. This is all the children in Zeebrugge need to make beautiful beach flowers in the summer. You 'buy' a colourful beach flower with a handful of shells. In 2021, UNESCO recognised this beautiful tradition as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
