The arms were officially granted on June 14, 1988.
The arms were officially granted on September 29, 192 and changed on June 14, 1988.


The arms are those of the [[Abbey of Our Lady in the Dunes|Ter Duinen Abbey]], a large and important abbey, which has played a very large role in the history of the municipality. The Abbey was founded about a century before the parish of Koksijde was established.  
The first arms (see below) are those of [[Elias van Koksijde]], abbott of the Ten Duinen Abbey from 1189-1203. These arms are not historically relevant for the municipality and thus were replaced after the merger in 1977.
