What about defecation in a delicate coastal environment as well as feminine hygiene product elimination? No nearby public restrooms, public trash cans, or their collection, etc. That's a recipe for environmental disaster.
When I walk my dog, I always take a plastic bag in order to clean up after him. This would work for the instances that you mention; nearly every public access that I am aware of also has a public trash can. If this doesn't work for you, perhaps the NC beaches aren't a good fit for you.

Public trash cans? No. Those don't exist in HOAs. The HOAs contract for waste disposal at the cost of HOA members.
Again, the questions are...There are beach accesses in residential neighborhoods that have no public restrooms. How is the daytripper beachgoing public accommodated at those residential neighborhood beach accesses that have no public restrooms? Local homeowners/renters just return to their homes to use the restroom. What does the public do? Pollute the beach environment?
In that case, I would recommend digging a hole in the sand, do your business and then fill the hole. Just don't forget to take a shovel along with the sunscreen and beach chairs.

And how is that human waste hole distinguished from the thousands of other holes dug by children on the public beach?

What is your proposed solution? Raise taxes to build more public restrooms? Limit beach access to those places with public restrooms?
Oh, what about all the fish doing their business in the ocean? Should we build fish-o-lets?

What would work? There is no publicly owned land available in residential areas to provide public restrooms, so what should be done?

That's a part of the natural environment. Is human body waste contaminating the beach part of the natural environment? From everything I've read, that's an environmental pollutant.

I'm asking you. You're the one who seems to (strangely) have deep feelings about the issue and brought it up, so you should have some idea of what you think the solution is.

I'm the only one who has deep feelings about human waste polluting coastal environments? That's a new one.

So, one more time. What is your proposed solution?
