shoreline access
Path to water
Shoreline access refers to the legal right or physical ability to reach and use the land along a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or river.
Public shoreline access is often a contentious issue in coastal areas where private property meets the water's edge.
The new development blocked traditional shoreline access for local fishermen.
Advocates argue that beaches and waterfronts should remain accessible to all, while property owners sometimes restrict passage across their land.
