In most coastal states the public owns the beach from the water's edge to the high-tide mark. That would allow the public to walk along the water's edge. However, in most cases access to the water is across someone's private land or town land that is reserved for use by residents only.

People who own ocean front properties may own the beaches in front of their property although as stated above the public can walk along the water's edge if they have access from a public beach, for example.

When do they close beaches?

Most beaches in the US are municipal (local) or state parks. Most such parks close at dusk. Some still allow walk in access. Some do not. Beaches that typically do not close are usually private. Access will be limited on private beaches, and those who access without permission are usually trespassing.Keep in mind though that property rights only extend to the water line. Private citizens generally do not own past the line of water on the beach. Theoretically, then, you could walk the entire coast of the US so long as you stay in the water and that guy yelling at you up on the sand can only stand there and yell.
