"Last week, two people drowned in the water off JBR, sparking a warning from the municipality that the area was not classified as a public beach as it had not been developed and, therefore, did not have safety measures such as lifeguards. "

So, undeveloped beach front is not classified as 'beach' as it occurs naturally - even if in the middle of the city, surrounded by high rise buildings.
Only man made beaches are recognised as beaches requiring lifeguards. Yup, sounds about right...
