A beach umbrella doesn’t seem like the kind of thing often left behind, whereas many smaller items would be. Still, based on the evident size of that beach, the effort seems fairly trivial for a public employee to take a quick look after closing time such as to remove potential umbrellas left behind.
It’s not that people might leave them behind and junk up the beach and ocean?
I could believe any of these reasons, honestly.

You’d think, but people leave behind the dumbest/most useful things sometimes.
My 2nd sentence covers that possibility, tho.
