Feels like a job for the coast guard

Though I don't think it's the job of the French police, and the French Coast guard to keep people prisoner in France.

Yes I know technically it's a border crossing and they have to register, but from a humanitarian perspective people trying to leave your country seems like something you should just let happen. Besides it shouldn't be illegal in France to go swimming, or even to go for a boat ride.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

There's no ice cream, no sandcastles and no sense of fun in this tale - but there are criminal gangs, dune buggies and desperate people.

As we arrive, the boat is making its way toward Britain, while the people smugglers are heading back toward their hiding places in the dunes.

As we're watching, a crowd of people - men, women and children - start hurrying down the beach.

Smugglers have worked out that it's much more efficient to launch the boat elsewhere and bring it round to the beach, allowing your passengers to run into the water and clamber aboard.
