Here's a thought… on any popular sandbar, establish mooring balls for the season. Properly spaced for between boats and from shore. If you don't get to the sandbar early enough, you have to wait till a 'spot' opens up. It's along the same lines as getting a public dock on the lake, limited number of spaces.

This e would avoid someone coming late and encroaching in your space. It would also take all the guesswork our for boaters and let everyone relax.
