waterfront access

Path to harbor

Waterfront access is the ability to reach a body of water from a property or public area.

In real estate, it's a selling point: The cabin has private waterfront access to the lake.

Public waterfront access ensures beaches, rivers, or harbors remain open to everyone, not just adjacent landowners.

Legal disputes often center on where private property ends and public access begins.
