Personally I moved here to be on the beach. Oh my god. It's heaven.

As for Harriette's comment about people "walking through your property", that's not quite right. There is a beach reserve for public passage along the seafront. Some old property titles run all the way to the water and in that case yes, people can pass along the shoreline on what you may "own". In newer subdivisions of land, the front lot line is generally pulled well back from the sea. People don't have the right to actually go up into where your house is nor to cut through to road etc. That being said, I do from time to time find people in my yard but that is just bad manners, not a legal right.
