public easement

A public easement is an easement that gives all people (the public) the right to use and enjoy a tract of property such as a street, sidewalk, park, or beach.

In California, a public easement is a legal right that allows the public to use certain pieces of property for specific purposes, such as streets, sidewalks, parks, or beaches. These easements are typically created by a dedication by the property owner or through long-term public use. California law recognizes the importance of public easements for transportation, recreation, and access to natural resources. The state's Coastal Act also provides for public access to beaches, which often involves public easements over private property to ensure that the public can reach and enjoy the coastline. Public easements are protected under state law, and interference with or obstruction of these easements can lead to legal action by the state or by individuals who are affected by the interference.
