- Note
- "Oostduinkerke (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌoːstˈdœy̯ŋkɛrkə]; French: Ostdunkerque [ɔstdœ̃kɛʁk]; West Flemish: Ôostduunkerke) is a place in the Belgian province of West Flanders, where it is located on the southern west coast of Belgium, so that part of it is a seaside resort.
Once a municipality of its own, Oostduinkerke now is a sub-municipality in the municipality of Koksijde.
The name "Oostduinkerke" translates as ´East Dunkirk´. The town originally shared its name with the city of Dunkirk in current-day France ; therefore, in the 13th century, ´Oost-´ was added to its name to avoid confusion with its namesake further to the west." - (en.wikipedia.org 16.01.2022) - Latitude
