Will the Universal Beach Access Bill come to fruition? Some beach towns have already made limited access for surfers and fisherman fee free. Surfing at beaches without lifeguards should not warrant a beach badge, although some lifeguards think they are above the law and attempt to enforce certain ordinances that are police enforced. Ultimately, beach towns can NOT restrict access to the ocean, although if patrons use services like bathrooms and lifeguards, the funding must come from some where in the municipalities budget.
