You don’t tend to think of the seaside when you think of Belgium, but don’t overlook the seaside town of Nieuwpoort. t’s a stunning spot with a mixture of its lovely coast (and wonderful beach) as well as its historic centre. If you can draw yourself away from beach days, do make sure you visit the vismijn, marina and staketsel. If you’re feeling mildly energetic then hire a bike and cycle along the Frontzate.

“Nieuwpoort thrives on seaside tourism,” says Michelle Martens, head of the tourism department. “We have the largest marina in North Europe that is not only well-kept, but looks amazing and as such attracts sailing aficionados from all across the continent, many from the Scandinavian countries and England. With 2,000 berths, it’s quite a sight and one that you can enjoy from the two wooden piers that lead to the marina and the fishing port.

Nieuwpoort is the heart and soul of the North Sea. And this spot, where the sea flows into Nieuwpoort, is the place to be. Situated in the largest yacht marina in Western Europe and in the extension of the beautiful harbour channel, it is a truly special spot – and that’s an understatement actually.
