Nice try! (https://flic.kr/p/FxfiP5) by Joergen Ramskov (https://www.flickr.com/photos/jramskov/), on Flickr
Sign says "Private property".

In my country, that sign would have been illegal as there is public access by law in a corridor along coastline and lake shores.
Thus, a "nice" try.

Sounds like we have very similar laws. As can be seen, the sign is placed only a few meters from the ocean and there's a public road right behind where I took the picture. I guess the people owning the house on the other side of the road would love to have it to themselves.
You can spot the sign on Google street maps: https://www.google.dk/maps/@56.2272926,10.6404605,3a,75y,191.45h,74.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1snMJKt9Yb9_snUB64TrvSng!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=da

Clearly the sign is set up to impose the alien concept of 'trespassing' ?

Of course. It's hardly the first time I've seen similar signs, but this is probably the most silly one I've seen. The people putting it there has made quite an effort - it could easily be mistaken as an official sign.

Beach access varies in the US by state. It is particularly restricted in the New York area where I grew up with some communities putting up no parking signs for miles. In Hawaii beach access is very easy.

Likewise in Sweden, in theory. Land owners sometimes goes to great lengths to disuade you from accessing the shore. It can be quite frustrating.
