Explain The Difference Between A Public Good and A Private Good (Economic Good) and Consider The Extent To Which A Beach Could Be Described As A Public Good. by Vidur Ahuja is a document available to read on EtoBox.

A public good is non-excludable and non-rivalrous, while a private good is both excludable and rivalrous. Beaches can exhibit characteristics of both, being non-excludable and non-rivalrous during off-peak times but becoming rivalrous and excludable during peak periods. Therefore, beaches are best classified as quasi-public goods, as they only partially meet the criteria of a pure public good.
