A fisherman from Blankenberge accidentally fished up the tail of a mermaid. This tail lies in a large fishing net in the Tourist Information Point. Without its tail, the mermaid obviously cannot swim any further. She is very embarrassed and has therefore hidden herself in our beach cart, which is locked with a code. Are you going to help us find the right code to free the mermaid?
