Littoral Rights

Definition: In basic real estate terminology, littoral rights are rights associated with land bordering a lake, sea, or ocean.

Example

A lakefront parcel may carry waterfront access rights, subject to applicable law.

Keep the distinction clear

The riparian/littoral vocabulary can vary in Florida legal usage. Waterfront ownership does not automatically grant ownership of submerged lands or unrestricted dock-building rights.
