Per my husband, who used to live in Hawaii, all beach is considered public land. You can only own up to a certain point (not sure if it is high tide mark or X-feet above high tide). As someone who lives in a state that benefited from Teddy Roosevelt's preservationist tendencies, I do like the idea of having broad swathes of public land - especially beaches, forests, lakes and so on. I would just like to strengthen property rights around the land we are permitted to own.
