KYCN Nieuwpoort Yacht Club Live Cam

The marina of the yacht club at Nieuwpoort lies below this webcam, on the Belgian coast in West Flanders. Yachts lie along the pontoons on the left, a houseboat sits at the near quay, and apartment blocks line the far bank of the Yser.

Nieuwpoort has one of the largest marinas in northern Europe, on the river where it meets the sea behind a set of locks. The town is also where the Yser was deliberately flooded in 1914 to stop the German advance, which fixed the front line for the rest of the war.

Boats move in and out with the tide and the lock schedule. In winter the pontoons empty and the wind comes straight off the North Sea.
