't Uzzetje is located in the Hoogstraat, one of the more quiet and authentic streets in the historic city center of Nieuwpoort. The street reaches from the quayside (Kaai), with its many fish shops, and the city’s fish market (Stedelijke Vismijn) to the church (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk) located on the market square (Marktplein).
It’s easy to reach the seafront by bike or on foot and the beach via the Havengeul promenade.
