Access to Misquamicut
According to ProJo the state (along with Save the Bay, RISAA, et al) lost the court case seeking public access to the 2 mile stretch of beach from the Weekapaug Breachway to just east of Misquamicut State Beach. I think the implication is that homeowners cannot only deny access but erect fences to the mean high tide mark. Where that mark rests will become another bone of contention, I imagine.

So if you were to park at the breachway and walk west along the beach there is no issue right? Gaining access through a public ROW and staying below mean high water line is still the law of the land correct? They are calling int question the right to use land above the high water mark.
I'm not really getting where this stretch of beach is. Says from "2½-mile oceanfront stretch, spanning from the Weekapaug breachway to just east of Misquamicut State Beach." I know where Misqmuaicut is on a map but don't think i understand where the demarcation is of Misquamicut beach. Sucks anyway you slice it.

Seemingly, that's the case, but if history repeats itself, the homeowners will be out barking at "interlopers" ( tide line notwithstanding) and threatening to call the police, which is fine. I believe the stretch of beach runs from the breachway to Misquamicut

sets a dangerous precedent. How many Rhode island property owners will try for the same, and reference this case?

That will be a huge problem along rocky areas.
We are allowed 1 wagon width above mean high water.
