The State, through DES, controls beach construction due to the potential for erosion shorelines and sedimentation into public waters associated with the landcover and slope modifications involved. Wetlands / Shoreland at DES does not regulate who can use a privately owned beach. The only time that I am aware of us putting a condition on the use of a beach would be when we have permitted new, large public beaches in which case we have put conditions on the permit that the beaches must always remain available to the general public and not become private.
