There isn't a universal answer to your question. Some rights could theoretically be leased or assigned, while others might prohibit that (my guess is that most would prohibit reassigning these rights).

IMO, "beach rights" is a realtor marketing term for gullible people. Most of the time it just means you have access to a relatively small town or community beach, which may not be all that accommodating. Often times these beaches are also not patrolled or enforced anyway.

Is there a specific beach you were interested in? Are you just looking for a "guaranteed" hangout spot, or did you want something more specific with regards to beach rights? (eg: kayak launch).

My personal casual observation is that if you are highly interested in some sort of reliable beach access your best option is waterfront ownership, or membership in a club that has controlled access to a suitable location.
