Two points:
- There's no reason why you can't stick an admin boundary on a
natural=coastline way.
- The border of a country is not the coastline, but (at the very
least) 12 nautical miles from the coastline and in some places, much
further than that.
I have no idea boundaries for local councils, I imagine they're
responsible for the beaches in their area, so it does extend beyond
the coastline itself.
Have a nice day,
