We recently bought a Dalmatian property, less than 100m from the water's edge. There is a plot of land in front of the property that is used as an allotment/garden by its owners who live nearby.
We heard that there are quite strict regulations about building on coastal land - can anyone clarify this? What we really want to know, I suppose, is if our neighbours will be able to build in front of us in the future.

Quite possibly. The restriction only applies to the foreshore. It seems to vary as I've heard of between 15m and 30m quoted. I would have thought the area 30-100m from the shore was quite viable.

Further information from a former deputy minister of transport with responsibility for marine affairs! He tells me that the strip 8m from high tide is state land and can not be privately owned. (One of the problems faced by celebs wanting private islands is that the paparazzi can legally land.) Above the state land is down to local building regs, which explains the variations I've come across. The local commune can decide for itself whether it wants to allow building right on the 8m line or wants to set it further back.
Incidentally anyone developing marinas, which obviously lie on the shoreline, can only ever get a lease on the necessary foreshore, typically for around 30 years.

It also depends on the type of "zone" that the plot of land is in. If it is a "Private Residential Zone" I think you can build from 10m from the shore (plus maybe the 8m that Peter mentioned). If it is a "Touristic Commercial Zone" then you cannot build for 100m.
