Channel
The channel of approx. 2 km runs between the marina and the North Sea. In Nieuwpoort-Bad it can be crossed with a daily operating ferryboat.
On the right bank is the nature reserve "De IJzermonding" next to the dunes of the former naval base of Lombardsijde. On the left bank there are some technical installations such as a cleaning place for fisher boats, jetties for rescue and pilot service, repair places and sheds for yachts.
At the moment, a completely new bike and hiking promenade is built along the channel and will be finished for the summer of 2004. By this, Nieuwpoort gets one of the most beautiful pieces of hiking and bike route.
