My Department is not in a position to advise on the legality of camping on particular beaches.

Individual local authorities may be able to assist in providing information in respect of particular locations. However, issues of ownership, rights of access and other rights, and statutory restrictions, vary from place to place and specific legal advice would need to be sought in that regard.
