The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Zuienkerke is a medium-sized municipality measuring 9 by 9 kilometres. With 2.676 inhabitants it is of medium density (55 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 2 protected areas, including Polders. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 5 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.

Signage on site and the local authority prevail. This reproduces the written rule as of the date indicated: it is neither legal advice nor an authorisation.
