As you're beach combing along Emma Schmitz, Charles Richey, and areas of Lincoln Park, remember these are designated marine preserves or Marine Protected Areas. Nothing is to be removed from these coastal areas, including shells or sea critters. Download MarineAreaRules (see page 19).
Beach areas in front of homes are often private and have varying property lines from property to property. Some homes may own the beach out to mean low tide. There's no way for the public to know where private property begins or ends–just something to keep in mind.
