You may need to go down and look lot by lot as there's no inventory (unlike Maui has) that shows them all on a big map, or at least not that appears to be public.

Thanks Bob, if I owned or was buying in Beach Lots, I would. My curiosity on this issue lacks that much motivation. More on an "if anyone knows" level.

My point that I was trying to make to Jeff concerns the very common conception that the public has a right to access the shoreline that supersedes private property ...

for example, there is a piece of beach or shoreline. You (the Public) want to go there. There's an oceanfront house built there. Assumption: you can walk through the yard to get to the shoreline because the magic words "public access" entitle you to do so, so off you go -- without any idea of whether there's a recorded easement or right of way.

Lots of people have this impression, especially visitors, just from hearing about "public access." Then they think the property owners are in the wrong for giving them stinkeye.

Public access easements are spaced out along the shoreline. More likely than not these days, they are signed. The access may require a person to walk a ways down the shoreline to get in front of that hypothetical piece of beach in front of that oceanfront house.

And if one doesn't find and use legitimate public access paths, but cuts through private property, then one will very likely get stinkeye and rightfully so (IMHO).
