Just an FYI about general New York Beach Access, I believe the high water mark (high tide line) is the demarcation used to separate public and private beach property. Meaning if you walk on the wet sand that is covered by water half of the day, you are OK. There was even a ruling in 1988 in NY to favor this access that overturned a previous ruling on this issue in Glen Cove. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/24/sports/outdoors-beach-use-decision-appealed.html http://www.leagle.com/decision/1989890153AD2d737_1656/SMITH%20v.%20STATE
