There is usually a public access site for the beach. Regardless parking restrictions are not necessarily pedestrian access restrictions unless specified.

On another note, if I own a portion of the land on the beach, am I required to give you access through my property? I don't think so unless the municipality rules so. One thing that is typically respected here is private property (unless you have nefarious purposes in mind) :o)

Maybe you had to 'sneak' onto the parking lot to take your pictures because you appear to be a person with nefarious purposes in mind? :o)


>Yep, just the other day I enjoyed the benefits of private property over communal. I had to sneak into a parking reserved for trucks tugging boats so I could make a few pictures of the bay. Never mind that it was nearly empty and that there was nobody watching, we were still trespassing in a way - there was a sign saying what the parking is for. Every other piece of the coast was fenced off.
