It's always a good idea to stay out of the dunes anywhere on the shore in the east. Dunes are very fragile ecosystems and often they are the only thing holding the beach in place.

I've seen posts here (and elsewhere) that say the dunes are a nice place for couples to go for privacy. Not only is that bad for the dunes but, if you're caught by a law enforcement officer you will be in a world of trouble and likely destroy what might have been a topfree or clothing free beach for all time. It's simply not worth the risk.

There are precious few free beaches and no one should do anything to risk their closure.
