A nature reserve with a rare wealth of fauna and flora unequaled in Belgium, except in the Zwin nature reserve. The freshwater of the Yser, the only river in Belgium that flows directly into the North Sea, mixes with the salty seawater. Tidal action has created a unique mudflat and salt marsh area, an ideal breeding ground for a rich variety of benthic organisms such as worms, snails, seaweed, shells, and crustaceans. The constant interaction between salt and freshwater in the Yser estuary also creates a unique biotope, characterized by salt-tolerant plants such as samphire, sea plantain, and sea aster.

The Nieuwpoort City Hall is a beautiful example of a smaller Flemish grain hall in late Gothic style, probably built around 1480. The first mention of a hall in Nieuwpoort dates back to 1280, which indicates a flourishing trading activity. After a city fire in 1383, the building even served as a temporary City Hall. During the First World War, the hall tower was blown up by the Belgian army on 17 October 1914 to prevent it from serving as a target for the enemy. The subsequent bombardments left hardly anything left of the medieval building. Architect Jozef Viérin led the reconstruction in the original style and material. In 1940, the hall was again damaged by an air raid, but was subsequently restored. From 1956, the building was given a museum function, first with a bird and shellfish museum, later with a museum for history and folklore. Since the restoration in the 1990s, the building has mainly served as an exhibition and reception area. The belfry of the Stadshalle was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, together with 23 other Flemish belfries — a sign of its historical and cultural value.

The belfry is part of the building's front facade and is partly built into it. It rises above the rectangular hall, which dates from the 14th century and belongs to the cross-border brick Gothic style. During the First World War, the tower was blown up and the hall, like the rest of the city, was almost completely destroyed. Between 1921 and 1923, both the belfry and the hall were rebuilt according to a historical model. During the reconstruction, the tower was given a new crowning, which makes it look more like the characteristic church towers from the region. The hall was given the appearance of the original building again, which was probably built around 1280 in late Gothic style.

The Fishermen's Monument in Nieuwpoort is centrally located on the Kaaiplein, near the municipal Fish Market. This life-size bronze statue by artist Pierre de Soete was unveiled on 13 July 1958 by Prince Albert as a lasting tribute to all Belgian fishermen who died at sea. In 2009, a memorial plaque was added to the foot of the monument with the names of the Nieuwpoort fishermen who never returned.
