According to Common Law, what rights extend to the mean high tide line?

The correct answer relates to littoral rights, which pertain specifically to properties located alongside large bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes. These rights give the property owner the ability to access the water and typically include rights to enjoy the water and the land adjacent to it up to the mean high tide line. This boundary marks the average high-water line during high tide, and property owners along coastal or lakefront areas typically have rights tied to the land up to this line, including the use of the water for recreational activities.

In contrast, riparian rights pertain to landowners whose property is adjacent to flowing water bodies, like rivers and streams, giving them rights to access and use that water but do not extend to the mean high tide line since they deal with different types of water bodies. Easement rights are legal rights allowing access to or the right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose, which does not relate to property ownership around bodies of water. Mineral rights refer to the ownership of the minerals beneath the surface of a property and are not connected to tidal boundaries or water access.
