Most likely but who is charging this fee? If the beaches (by state law) are open to the public how are they collecting my money?

I am all in with you and I am totally okay with or paying a modest fee for beach cleaning and grooming and Safety Patrol. I am glad they are there to clean the beach and make sure my grandkids are safe.

The original post sounds like just an "entry fee"--and that sounds illegal.
