Wouter/Rolf:

You guys are gonna' love this! The beach here is public property too, up to the "mean" high tide line! That means there is only a "public" beach when the tide is out! Also, there is very little access; places to park your car, use the restroom, etc. To make matters worse, there are no building set-backs of any consequence to the public, except in theory! In practice, if you have the money, you can build all the way to the mean high tide line.

I expect all sorts of raging, screaming remonstrations that this just isn't so! In reality, it is exactly so! I invite you to come see for yourselves, you can bunk in at my place!
