Cable Beach Help/Questions

[simkoreb]

Hello all.  The pictures of Cable Beach look amazing, and I think it fits what we want for our upcoming cruise.  However, reading reviews, some people post security guards will not even let you walk along the shoreline in front of resorts.  Others have posted they walk/run the beach every day.  We were just going to bring beach towels and set up by the shoreline somewhere, but I'm nervous that the resorts "own" their stretch of the beach.  Is this really an issue?  I've also read by the shoreline it's all public.  I just want a place to set my towel down and play in the water for 2 hours....I just have been reading so much conflicting information.  I'm also looking at Saunders Beach as an alternative.

Thanks for any help/perspective.  I do not want to pay 100 a person to use a beach for a couple hours, so not wanting to do an all inclusive.
