[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Delaware or Maryland in General have no private beaches.

Look at Ocean City MD they posted ( 8 million people visited their beaches in 2023).

with tons of hotels and and AIRBnBs and day trippers the whole Rehoboth to Ocean City Stretch is crowded.

Now compare that to Beach Front Dune Road in Hamptons. There are zero chain hotels, handful of small motels or BnBs in area. Airbnb is illegal for stays less than one month. The big stretch on Dune Road is all no parking with no shoulder except a Sand Shoulder you pull over get stuck. No public entrance to beach between houses.

Technically beach is public but only below high water line and you have to walk 2-3 miles from public area to get to a beach in front of you mansion and there are no bathrooms or lifeguards.

Even Joe Bidens multi million home in Rehoboth has no private beach access.

I own a beach place in a town [b]I rather not mention but all our beaches are resident only, [/b]we sell zero day passes, they are in non resident parking zones and gated. Need picture ID to enter. It is not private since open to town, but unlike the Delaware beach no riff raft.

Because it would take you too long to go find a believable place/house?

My beach town back in the 1970s fought and won to have our own building department. Starting 1982 they banned any building over two stories tall, banned any multifamily housing, banned any new commercial property, banned any hotels, banned any religous buildings or even schools. They bascially in 1982 made any new construction SFH only.

Over the years since 1982 when they were able they would buy the few remaining commercial properties. Town would either raze the building and make it a park and often just become the landlord so they control what business in the buidling.

The town is now unfortantely getting the McMansion effect happening. As builders can only build SFH so they knock down the few remaining orginal condition small homes and build new ones. It is at point people buy two million homes knock them down and build 8 million dollar homes.

I have a crappy place in town. The last remaining small condo complex built 1978. It actually started the restrictions and several more were planned until they incorporated and  stopped them in 1982. My place is worth much more than is should be. it is on a block of 2-10 million dollar homes.

To do this in Sandy they took zero federal dollars to rebuild boardwalk and beach. They cant take money from Fed as would have to open beach. I dont know what they would do in a massive storm. it may force them to open them.    [/quote]
