How to get there
To get to the marina: E40 - direction Veurne, exit 3 "Nieuwpoort".
First traffic lights turn right, direction "Nieuwpoort Stad".
Keep going until the end (= 2nd traffic light) and then turn right (direction "Lombardsijde-Oostende" - "Kustbaan").
Over the bridge, passing the monument "Albert" (one of the Belgian kings), turn left at the first coming traffic lights. Cross the street and turn left. This is the "Watersportlaan".
Follow the road until you see a big white pyramid at your left side and a bit further you will see a "barrier". If the barrier is open, you can continue and park your car there, otherwise you will have to find a space somewhere there.
