Seaside beaches posted "private" and "security enforced"

[scooterbug44]

I don't know what prompted the powder blue signs that have sprouted at almost every Seaside beach walkover, but they are staking their claim to the beach! Has there been a recent problem w/ non-residents/guests using their accesses?

PRIVATE
NO PUBLIC ACCESS

Pavilion Use and Beach Access
Strictly limted to Seaside Homeowners
and their Guests

SECURITY ENFORCED

It looks like they are saying the access is private, not the beach and this is true. Each street is responsible for maintaining their own walkover and pavilion, and they are private. Just go to the Obi pavilion walkover behind Cafe Spiazza and you shouldn't have any problem. Let us know if anyone says anything to you "on the beach."

It's always said that, though the "strictly enforced" is a new part.

I've always known that they're private and owned by each neighborhood/street, the new large signs were a surprise.

I guess they are trying to keep out the SoWal riff-raff..............:funn: Go Grayton.....

There is a public boardwalk on the west end border of Seaside. Not the most noticeable, but it's there.

On a side note - the pavilions and beaches below at Seaside can be rented separately or together for weddings and events. The cost is not as high as I have seen posted here before. The most expensive is $1,500. The planners at Seaside will also help arrange (along with soup to nuts) for you to get married at the adjacent public walkover which only requires an inexpensive permit from the county for groups over 50 people.

I first noticed the signs after Hurricane Ivan, in 2004. There were very few accesses to the beach, and the foot path next to the Seaside Pavilion was one of very few along the entire stretch of 30A. The sign could have been there all along, but I never noticed it prior to that, when many people began to go to Seaside for beach access.

I've seen tiny signs saying "private" before. My post was prompted by the appearance at every pavilion of new blue signs several feet high/wide and hard to miss.

I've got my own (public) beach access, so me getting to the beach isn't the issue, I just wondered what prompted these signs.
