First off -- the person who took that photo was in violation of Florida State Statute 810.09 ... secondly 50 feet from that sign and I would have been knee deep in the mighty Atlantic Ocean. This picture is from Golden Beach, Florida, and who do these people they think they are?
Along the coast of Massachusetts there are hundreds of places to access sprawling sandy beaches, rocky coastline, pristine salt marshes, and bustling ports and harbors. This Tip of the Month focuses on coastal access in the Commonwealth, including public rights and responsibilities, public access sites, and environmental protection issues.
In Massachusetts, the intertidal zone (the area between high and low water) is typically owned by the upland private property owner, with the following rights reserved for the public: fishing, fowling, and navigation. For more on the details of waterfront property law, see:
Public Rights Along the Shoreline, an electronic fact sheet from Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM).
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (MassDEP) web page on Chapter 91, the Commonwealth's primary tool for protection and promotion of public use of tidelands and other waterways.
About 25 percent of the shoreline in Massachusetts is publicly owned." (end of quote)
Well, that means to me that sadly 75% of the coast of Massachusetts is privately owned. That's totally wrong, and there should be hundreds of thousands of places to access the coast and beaches of the Commonwealth.

If you want to screw with those land owners that own 75 percent of the Massachusetts' beaches all you have to do is get you, your family and your friends to walk very slowly at low tide, going no higher than the high tide water marks, and carry with you a map, or a fishing pole, or a duck call. The beach is not yours, but the access to the area is opened for all to enjoy at a very slow pace.
this land was made for you and me, seldom heard verse:
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.

This is a quote from MASS.gov
"Get to the Shore!

It's a very poor rule but ...
F**k 'em.

Fowling? does that mean peeing on the sand?
