Years ago my family owned a summer cottage on the shores of Buzzards Bay, on a chunk of land with sand dunes and rose hips buffering the yard from the private beach. As a kid I had no concept of what made a beach “private”…as there were always people walking across ours, albeit close to the water. Not sure if it’s still the law, but then your property was private only until you reached the high tide line…at which point everything between that and the water was public domain. “Tide Line” 48 x 30.
