Again, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I have lawyers and lobbyists available to run this by, but customary usage has made its way through the courts from what I remember and the court decided with the public's right to use the beach. Beach areas received a special and specific court ruling on customary usage. I don't recall this "Customary usage" granting squatting rights of setting up tents overnight, or for a week or month of Sundays.
So, the Supreme Court could rule 1) The public has the right to use the beaches in a customary manner such as walking and sitting and recreation for day use. 2) As they often do, they may expound that this customary use does not include setting up a tent with beach activity accessories and leaving them overnight or for any other extended period 3) They will say that land that was public was public land in pepertuity and that this applies to a lot of beach land.
The beach looked the best last year it has in a long time when there was some picking up. Right now, the beaches look fabulous. Hope they stay that way.
