  Foreshore - LoveToKnow 1911
FORESHORE, that part of the seashore which lies between highand lowwater mark at ordinary tides.
In the United Kingdom it is ordinarily and prima facie vested in the crown, except where it may be vested in a subject by ancient grant or charter from the crown, or by prescription.
There is a public right of user in that part of the foreshore which belongs to the crown, for the purpose of navigation or fishery, but there is no right of passage over lands adjacent to the shore, except by a particular custom.

The foreshore, also called the intertidal or littoral zone, is that part of a beach that lies between average high tide and average low tide.
Since the foreshore is alternately covered by the sea and exposed to the air, organisms living in this environment must have adaptions for both wet and dry conditions.
