This is interesting, because I definitely encountered beaches, that were private, but it has been before 2018, until a transition period changed, so maybe that changed? And otherwise I found spanish land (around Huelva) to be strictly divided by barbed wire fences with no clear way of knowing whether I entered private property or not, by following public (dirt) roads, when hiking.

Not so nice for wildlife as well.

They're lying. In RI the area between high tide and low tide is public no matter what the signs say.

Beach shoreline is public but sometimes there are no public footpaths specially around cliffs or rocky shoreline.

Legally though you could still access those beaches by boat or swimming and you would not be trespassing.

Well, I was referring to fences on the beach. But like I said, it has been before 2018 at which time apparently a transition period ended, so maybe (and hopefully) they are not there anymore?

I really like the concept of open beaches.
