Not directly related, but in Canada, anything below the high tide line (except that fronting leased piers/quays/waterfront and military) is considered public land, accessible to anyone that can get there without trespassing on surrounding properties.

to anyone that can get there without trespassing on surrounding properties.

I believe California law requires access be provided THROUGH privately-owned properties. It seems to me Babs Streisand was kvetching about the hoi palloi trapsing through her side yard to get to the beach awhile back.
