I dunno about Hawaii, but up here in Seattle, some of the beach on the Puget Sound is owned by Burlington Northern, so it doesn't get patrolled.
Shudder.....
I can't believe that the beaches of the US are privately owned and you can only visit the public beaches. It's such a strange idea, particularly as you've got such a vast coastline. In Europe, you can pretty much wander the beaches as you please. In the chi-chi resorts, you'll probably have to pay to use a sun lounger, but there are very few places that you are prevented from wandering through.
I know of no places that a 'Beach Patrol' exists, either. What a foul idea. Beaches are made to relax in!
