Why, and on what paper
UNVERIFIED
Dunkerque has its own rule, which has been located, but its articles have not been extracted. No verdict is published without the text.
The area designated by by-law that has been read is in Roosdaal, about 128 km away. The nearest municipality with its own rule read is Wissant, about 46 km away.
The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Dunkerque is a medium-sized municipality measuring 20 by 9 kilometres, spread over 2 separate pieces. 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 3 protected areas, including Dunes de la plaine maritime flamande. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 27 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

protected zone
3 areas: Dunes de la plaine maritime flamande · Bancs des Flandres · Bancs des Flandres
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

Rule located, but its articles have not been verified: its content is not published until it has been read.
On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
