Not exactly. There is a right to be on the beach up to the mean high tide line, (except government owned/controlled beaches), but there is no guarantee of access, which is the issue here, and in places like Malibu colony.

There is a guarantee of access.

See [PRC Division 20 Ch3](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.x...)

Particularly:

> Development shall not interfere with the public’s right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation.

This is an access point that has been used by the public for decades.
