THE
DEFINITION OF A BEACH: BY FL. ATTORNEY
GENERAL OPINION
Number:
AGO 87-16 : Date: February 18,
1987
At 10 C.J.S. p.
217, it is stated that in common
parlance the word "beach"
has been defined as a "strip
of land above the usual high-water
line, more or less well defined by
natural boundary, or in the rear
by a sea wall, providing a convenient
and safe access to the water
for bathing or for sun baths either
before or after going into the
water; the coast, the seashore,
the strand; the land, or lands,
washed by the sea; the sandy shore
above high-watermark; the shore of
the sea, or of a lake, which is
washed by tidewaters and waves;
the strip of shore lying above
high water." Thus defined and
understood, the word
"beach" includes the
shoreline of both fresh and salt
bodies of water.
