§ 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.
