the real legal 'words' on that,
hope somebody finds them and posts them over here, interested in such myself alsways.
when guards don't let you access a red/black flagged beach, i honor that if it is only for the fact of the announced danger/flaggs out, we have too many idiots dying in the nearshore waters every year on the island, when Sea/weather conditions are on dangerous level or expected to get dangerous i appreciate a lot that even guards(i assume but don't now we are talking about private guards/watching mens, not authorities) do not allow the access.
examples for """private""" beaches are present at many spots, i comment on my own hometown area:
i live on the east coast in Cabeza de Toro on the Oceanfront,
200 meters aside of our public beach 30 meters in front of the building we have the Club Nauticus Cabeza de Toro, only busy during billfish season when tournaments are held there, rest of the year 1 person in charge there, no movement, no guards, but the fence of the property ends "in the water", that means if you want to have a beach walk you have to enter the water to go around the fence which closes the property. i have no prob with the spot, but i would not name that a public beach neither. next example is where i have my own company based, the Punta Cana Marina and the Cap Cana Marina right aside, try to walk that many miles long beach stretch and try that specially on nighttime, could be adventurally funny.
where are our "legal/law experts" to put the law on the table, and then we would need to find the authorities who run on that.
it is always a flexible 'border' on such, where i.e. people who enter a beach area of a resort are just menbers of the crowd of people who are present on that beach strip(visitors and locals) and where begins that such little crowds may just "bother" the visitors or start to check their belongings left on beach chairs while they enjoy a swim in the ocean.
it's a nice theme,
looking forward to what else opinions or facts are coming up,
but from spot to spot it has also it's sensible little differences,
in my opinion.
wanna hear others to that
