But with 7000+ residents the potential to be turned away is already high.

If they are not going to allow all taxpayers the opportunity to use the beach then the only fair way to do it is to require tax paying residents who want to use the beach to buy stickers, priced high enough to bear all costs (both fixed and variable) so that other taxpayers (non-resident & business) do not bear any of the costs.
