The Nieuwpoort lighthouse, the first on the European continent, with a few meters above sea level and a luminous halo
Originally built in 1881, the lighthouse was destroyed in World War I and World War II. The present lighthouse was first used in 1949. This time it is a concrete construction with red and white stripes. It rises 27 m above sea level and the light halo reaches 29 m. The red flashing light emits a flash every 14 seconds. The last lighthouse keeper served until his retirement in 1963. Since then, operation has been regulated by means of an electronic remote control.

vous devez prendre le bateau pour y accéder, c'est le plus facile, vous vous trouvez alors sur une pseudo île très jolie. Malheureusement le phare n'est pas accessible mais très joli à regarder :-)
The best at Nieuwpoort and around
