I would agree that restricting an entire stretch of beach effectively
isolates boaters from land access. Many boaters like to "raft", beach,

Here in south western Florida it is idle speed only inside of 200
yards, but OK to beach in most places. More commonly, we anchor off
the beach in 3 or 4 feet of water and wade in.
