The origins of Nieuwpoort, which is located in the Flemish Region of Belgium, date back to the 12th century. The region, which caused a war between Holland and Spain in the beginning of the 17th century due to its location, was occupied by France in the 18th century. In Nieuwpoort, which also played an important role in the World War I due to its strategical location, approximately 11 thousand people live.
The King Albert I Monument, which was built to honor the memories of the soldiers who showed heroism in the World War I, draws attention. Barza Beach is a popular destination among tourists. It is observed that tourism is highly developed in the regions close to the sea.
