Does beachfront mean a private beach?
No. This page does not promise a private beach. It means the operator places the rental on the beach side of the dunes. Beach access and beach tags still follow borough rules.

Beachfront rentals in Stone Harbor
Rentals the operator describes as fronting the beach.
Beachfront is narrower than oceanfront on this site. It means the property fronts the beach, so the sand and the dune are in front of the home rather than a street between the building and the beach.
A home can sit on the ocean-side row, face the Atlantic, and still have a walkway between the door and the sand. That home belongs with the oceanfront pages. The next street back is beach block. Read the listing for the access the operator describes.

Rates, calendars, amenities, and addresses are shown on a listing only after the operator supplies them.
The beach in front of the house
The shoreline in front of these homes is the borough beach, not a private beach. Beach tags are required in season under rules set by Stone Harbor.
Dune entrances are at the numbered streets. The bird sanctuary, in the oceanfront dunes, is a protected heronry and is observed from outside the protected area.
