Beach
Private beaches

Some jurisdiction make all beaches public by law. Some allow private ownership (for example by owners of abutting land or neighborhood associations) to the mean high tide line or mean low tide line. In some jurisdictions, the public has a general easement to use privately-owned beach land for certain purposes. Signs are sometimes posted where public access ends.

In some places, such as Florida, it is not always clear which parts of a beach are public or private.
