Saint-Idesbald is a village at the Belgian West Coast, part of Koksijde, which also includes Oostduinkerke. Its name refers to Saint Idesbald, a 12th-century abbot of the Abbey of Ten Duinen.
In 1931, George Grard set up his studio at Saint-Idesbald, where his house became a rendezvous of artists including Pierre Caille, the Haesaerts brothers, Edgard Tytgat and Paul Delvaux.
In 1982 the Paul Delvaux Museum opened in Saint-Idesbald.
