If it is in the disclosure when you buy the property, or basic law your real estate agent should inform you of, yes, rich or poor. If his agent never educated him he should sue his agent for negligence. That said, I have walked that road many times. There are other properties there that require a road so he would not need to pay for everything. There is already garbage pickup service there so I assume like any other private road it would need to be maintained by all the property owners for basic services and emergency access. The issue was that he kept the gate locked and was trying to have the police aggressively evict pedestrians. There is a small parking lot at the beginning of the road and if he had been a decent neighbor and allowed people to park there and walk, I doubt this would have ever become such an issue. But he took that path of most resistance. Morally I think open access to beaches is the right thing. It is a public asset and the beauty a reminder of how important our stewardship is. On the other side of the coin, having been there over the years and now seeing how the public is trashing what was a super pristine amazing place with litter and feces, i would give him the right to charge a $10000 cleaning fee to anyone caught littering (or worse!)
