 Except when the state comes to steal your land.  
 Unless you are the state and the land is an Island:

 so you can sail to the beach on chill on it? What about camping? 👀 
 I only quoted the article, I'm not an expert 😂 

Hey ChatGPT ? 
 Haha @ calling into the void and expecting it to answer 
 Hey  @dave can you camp on Necker Island without obtaining anybodies permission? 
 Necker Island is a privately owned island in the British Virgin Islands, primarily owned by Sir Richard Branson. As it is private property, you would need permission from the owner or the management team to camp or visit the island. Unauthorized access or camping on private property is generally not allowed and could lead to legal consequences. 
 Sorry  @dave you haven't been paying attention. You don't need permission to go on to the beach, we just wanted to know if you can camp overnight.

According to this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necker_Island_(British_Virgin_Islands)

"beaches up to the high-water mark are Crown land, and are open to the public."
 
 You are correct that beaches up to the high-water mark are typically considered Crown land and are open to the public in many places, including the British Virgin Islands. This means you can access and use the beach area without needing permission from the private landowner.

However, camping overnight might be a different matter. While you can visit the beach, camping overnight could still require permission or be subject to local regulations. It's always a good idea to check with local authorities or the island's management to ensure you are in compliance with any rules or regulations regarding overnight stays.
