Hi all,
Could someone help us by either confirming or correcting what I read in the travel section of DR1 that "By law, the first 60 meters of any beach is public property. ".
We have lived on several islands, and while all of them have "public rights" laws governing their beaches, none have such a huge distance allocated. If my memory serves me (and I am the first to admit that I do fall prey to senior moments from time to time) this public rights allocation on the other islands was usually in the 18 to 25 foot range, as measured from the high tide mark.
60 meters is quite large by comparison. I would sure hate to assume it was a typo though, only to later discover that the public property line extended from the waters edge to right about the center of our living room. Of course, that would be an interesting way to meet one's neighbors
As always, thank you for your kind help.
