      Where the Yser River flows into the sea, the river is flanked by two piers. The Western Pier is 490 meters long, while the Eastern Pier is 543 meters long.

      Both promenades were built around 1865 and were rebuilt after both World Wars.

        The Westerstaketsel in Nieuwpoort-Bad is an iconic promenade that stretches 490 meters into the sea. Built around 1865, the pier has a rich history and has been rebuilt several times after damage during the World Wars. This wooden pier offers a beautiful view of the North Sea and the coastline of Nieuwpoort. At the end of the pier is a signal lantern and a fog horn, reminiscent of miniature lighthouses.
