The Nieuwpoort–Dunkirk Canal forms an extension of the Plassendale–Nieuwpoort Canal [nl; fr], and runs for 32 kilometres (20 mi) pretty much parallel to the coast line, within two to four kilometers from the sea.

The canal first circles around the old city center and then turns eastward, past the village of Wulpen in the municipality of Koksijde.

The canal goes around Veurne, and then bends back towards the shoreline by Adinkerke.

After almost 19 kilometres (12 mi) in Belgium, the canal continues into France, passing the communes of Bray-Dunes and Zuydcoote.
