Stay below the high tide line
Beach access is legal only on the shoreline itself, not on private property inland.

The beach is most easily reached by water rather than overland approaches.
Expect unclear ownership and possible confrontation
Reviewers disagree sharply about public versus private access, and some report unwelcoming locals.

Questions
Common questions
How far is the walk to the water at Great Beach?
210 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Great Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
