Easy parking in Nieuwpoort

Nieuwpoort is a popular seaside town with a busy centre and lively promenade. Smart parking can save you time and money. Here’s everything you need to know about the different parking zones, rates, and where you can park for free or at a lower cost.

Paid parking in Nieuwpoort

In Nieuwpoort, paid parking applies daily during the summer months (1 April–30 September) between 10:00 and 19:00. During the winter period (1 October–31 March), charges only apply on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during school holidays.

Nieuwpoort-Bad is the busier coastal district where paid parking is standard. There are several zones with different rules:

  • Red zone: Maximum stay of 4 hours at € 1.00 per hour.

Note: You can claim a free 30-minute ticket twice per day.

Free parking in Nieuwpoort

Prefer to park for free in Nieuwpoort? Good news – parking in Nieuwpoort-Stad is almost completely free, except for a few blue zones.

Blue zones (parking disc)

In these areas, you can park free for up to 2 hours with a European parking disc. Key locations include Oostendestraat, Marktstraat/Market Square, and the Kaai near the fish shops.

These zones are marked with blue lines. Don’t forget to display your disc – failing to do so could result in a fine. The Market Square is a well-known example of such a blue zone, where two hours is the standard limit.

Important: Zone signage appears only at the start of each blue zone and is not repeated further along. Stay alert to avoid fines.

Parking with a resident permit

In certain streets, parking is reserved for those with a municipal permit. Some residential zones have marked spaces where only residents are allowed to park.

Disabled parking

Holders of a valid disabled parking permit can park for free with no time limit in all designated spaces – including both Nieuwpoort-Bad and Nieuwpoort-Stad. All other areas follow the standard regulations.

Alternatives

Park & Bike

Want to leave your car at the edge of town? Try the Park & Bike concept: park outside the centre and use a bike or public transport to continue your journey. It’s a great way to avoid traffic and expensive zones – especially handy during the summer.
