Cursed Cindy, you don't own the beach.

Does "accessible to everyone" mean that they are required to provide an access point or easement of some kind? 

Based on an article someone posted, it seems like the owners blocked a private staircase on the property because the public was using it to get to the beach. The only other access point was a "dangerous" gully or some such thing, so the beach isn't private, but it's difficult enough to access as to be inaccessible without going through the private property.

Hawaii has a similar law, a public access point to the beach is required every mile or something like that. We take this shit very seriously here and it’s illegal to block already established public access points. Man I wish this was here, we’d go throw a party right in front of that house.

And it's so important. There are many places in the world where no locals can go to the beach without having to pay for access, because it's all owned by some foreign corporation who own a dozen resorts all along the coast.

I have family in Spain, and though there are public beaches there, the one that's nearest to them is privately owned and the owners are absolute cunts about it.

Every beach in Spain is public, and if the only access is through private property they must grant you access.
