Paul, all of the locals in Provincetown (and remember, back in the day it was just the portuguese community) would set up a tent and claim an area of beach in May for the summer. One of the guys was showing me pics of him and his family on the beach in tents in the late 1940's - that is how it was done. I'm pretty sure that 63# George got was November 3 1981 - there is a pic of him with the fish on the wall at Nelson's, I think.
Lastly, 'while allowing the public to enjoy a unique resource' - what a statement for lawyers to turn and parse into something it doesn't mean.
