Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Nieuwpoort

The Drive from Charleroi to Nieuwpoort

The route covers 177 km (110 miles) and typically takes 1 h 49 m. You cross most of Belgium from south to the North Sea coast, so the journey is a real cross-country trip rather than a short hop. Allow extra time on summer weekends and public holidays, when coastal traffic builds up, and during weekday rush hours around the Brussels and Ghent ring roads.

Nieuwpoort as a Destination

Nieuwpoort is a seaside town in West Flanders, at the mouth of the river IJzer. It is known for its large marina, its sandy beach and the neighbourhood of Nieuwpoort-Bad on the seafront. Many visitors come for sailing, walks along the dunes and relaxed weekends on the coast. The Belgian coast is a popular holiday region, so the town is busiest in summer.

Tip for Your Drop-Off

Have the full address of your hotel, apartment or marina berth ready before departure. In the centre and near the seafront, streets can be narrow and busy in high season, so your driver may stop at the nearest practical point. If you are heading to a holiday rental, check the key collection arrangements in advance, as arrival after a long journey is easier when everything is arranged.
