Are all beaches in the Bahamas public?

Under Bahamian law, public beaches include the land below the high water mark. Although the government owns the shore, it does not necessarily own adjoining land nor is there an automatic public right of way to beaches. This means in many instances, public access to beaches is significantly impeded.
