§ 46-3-5 Beach areas classed as exposed
– Extent of areas. –
Open beach areas, including spits, dunes, and barrier beaches that are subject
to loss of material through high waves, strong currents, or scouring wave
action, or beach areas vulnerable to storm damage because of geographical
location, are classed as exposed beach areas within the meaning of this
chapter. The limits of those exposed beach areas shall be the extent of the
natural topography of the land surface, not necessarily co-extensive with
political boundaries, and shall include private and public property upon which
public money may be spent and public debt incurred for the protection and
conservation thereof, and taxes levied to support expenditures for those
purposes.
