NO ONE owns beach front. All beaches are sovereign, owned by the people of Florida. There are additional conditions (and huge controversies) of "mean high tide lines" and "erosion control lines" etc...but if beaches are closed they are totally closed. Resorts near me can let people "go to" the beach, but not on the beach. Clearly, people who own beach front will stretch the limits and go on to the beach... but if any beach control comes by they still scurry back!If the residence or condo, etc has “private” beach access, I don’t think they’re closed. There were barriers up at Siesta Key beach park. That’s where all the tourists go anyway. The rest of us know better. LOL!
