| Summary: | Although the Civil Code did not establish a legal de nition for beaches and low tide land, it did designate them as public property, whose main destination is the use of all Colombians. This rule has been developed in many times, always in the same direction. However, urban growth in these areas has been increasing, which has privileged an economic activity that sometimes goes against the sense of the rule with respect to its destination. According to the situation, this article, the result of a socio-juridical investigation in this respect, is aimed at exploring and describing the dynamics rela- ted to the urban growth of an important beach sector located in the District of Santa Marta, the area of Pozos Colorados, with the Intention to analyze the legality of the urban planning activities carried out, as well as the exercise of the powers of the authorities that must ensure their protection and control. |
