TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin A private beach?

I have spoken to gov people about this I don't understand why it so hard to understand. if you look at land surveys lots of properties have sand area well within their legal property boundaries and that would of course be their private property. SAND runs right up to lots of buildings foundations. I think the beach policy is gov land up to the high water line.
