Those fortunate enough to own beachfront property, have unique security issues. By law, California's beaches are open to the public (unless the property is controlled by the government). This can leave beachfront homes susceptible to easy entry by criminals.

Beachfront Property Security Guards. With beachgoers having access to the "backyards" of their homes, some individual beachfront homeowners and homeowner associations are hiring a beach property security guard company to patrol their properties.

Security guards watch for loiterers and trespassers. Individuals may try to cut through a home's yard to get to the beach or set down blankets on the homeowner's property (considered by the coastal commission to be anything above the high tide line). When these instances occur, guards will quickly move the trespassers off the property to a public location.

Security guards are also on the lookout for signs of trouble (public intoxication, fights, theft) on public beaches. Because homes are in such close proximity to the beach, poor behavior on public property can impact home residents and their private property. When security guards spot illegal activity, they alert police.
