Do the rules about removing everything at night and canopy size, etc. only apply on public beaches? If you're renting a house with private beach access can you do as you please?

Private access is access to the public beach.

Only private to the erosion control line. If the beach has been widened then it’s only private to the old erosion control line (surveyed and recorded prior to the widening of the beach).

OP, yes you are correct.

You can't leave crap on the beach overnight because the county picks up trash on the beach. Anything left overnight is considered trash, that's where a lot of this "easement" stuff comes from. Otherwise you'd have homeowners with their portion of the beach full of trash.

You are correct in that most owners own to the mean high tide mark, as others said the wet sand. You have to look at the property appraisal to official see this.

Beach owners can do essentially what they want on their own beach during the day, but it must be removed at night so it can be cleaned.

There's a HUGE difference between a county "easement" and public use.
