I suspect that beach access has been an old practice, and few people get the right to deny an existing easement at a whim. I can understand why a neighboring property owner might want to put up a wall or fence to protect privacy from people using the beach approach and having to look at people inappropriately dressed for their taste or otherwise unattractive accessing the beach through the easement. Heck, I might prefer that beach-goers use a tunnel so that I could take back the property itself and neither have to look at or be seen by such people.
Ownership of beachfronts themselves has often been sketchy. I do not know the intricacies of Hawaiian property law, but I would doubt that someone who owns property beyond the usual high tide has any special claim to the beach itself except against extreme offense (like having to see sex on the beach).
