I was 12 and I'd got there by walking along the beach, didnt set a single toe on a single blade of grass of his property. He was so angry and scary I actually ended up crying and went home instead of finishing my walk and swim. And I told my friend about it, who told her dad, who then brought me to the mans house after school to show me he was gonna yell at HIM for me (since my dad wasnt around) and tell him its public property and if its not for kids then who tf is it for? and if he doesnt wanna let kids on the beach then he can drive a hour to the next town to do his groceries because the local dairy owner will be hearing about this if it happens again Very grateful to him, I wasnt gonna stand up for myself I was just gonna avoid that part of the beach forever.

In the United States, all beaches are federal property, some of which is delegated to the states to manage. You cannot block access to a beach. In California, we have the Costal Commission to enforce that.

Even in Jamaica. All surveyors will tell you that beaches are free to the public and no one should fence a beach.

Rich land owners and corrupt local government have made access to beaches nearly impossible for locals in Fort Walton Beach/Destin Florida, USA to get to the beaches. Every local fishing hole has been blocked or made private property. Now even the military property (US citizen owned ) requires a permit to picnic, swim, or fish on. So, if you’re not rich, you’re extremely limited in your ability to get to the beach. It’s disgusting and as un-American as it can get. But here we are.

In these kinds of disputes it makes sense to visit historical records. In Costa Rica in 1982 I saw historical documentation in an area I had deeds for that stipulated the state/public property actually extended further inland from the sea than was locally understood. The issue was the time and expense involved in obtaining official recognition of the historical documents.
