I've been to Red Reef Park and didn't have to show anything, but that was more than 15 years ago. At the time I lived in Deerfield Bch., but later moved to Boca.
Actually from what I've read, the beach from the high tide water line to the water is free to anyone for the entire state of Florida. Hotels will try to make it seem that it is private beach, but in fact they don't own past high tide water line into the ocean. Of course you can't set up a blanket above that point as they do own it.
