Leffrinckoucke, Coastal commune in Hauts-de-France, France

Leffrinckoucke extends along the North Sea coast, connected to the Dunkirk metropolitan area with an area of 7.28 square kilometers.

The area's first written record dates to 1241 as Lefringhehoeck, while Menapii tribes initially inhabited this northern French territory.

The municipality maintains two distinct sections: the village center and the beach area, each contributing to the local identity.

The Fort des Dunes, constructed between 1878 and 1880, stands as a military structure on the eastern edge of Leffrinckoucke.

The steel factory Usine des Dunes represents a major industrial presence in this coastal commune, supporting the local economy.
