Public Beach Trespassing?

[PearlSB4U]

I had naively assumed that all the beach in front of the principal dune was public, but in Blue Mtn today I saw signs that on the beach that said "Blue Lupine Owners and Guests Only."

Can someone please explain the laws re which parts of the beach are public vs. private?

Nope, it is clear as mud! The lawyers are still fighting it out, but I believe law enforcement had decided they are done with being beach bouncers so don't worry about it too much.

It is a travesty! The people who own at The Inn At Blue Mt. Beach and the Reserve should be totally ashamed of the ugly, unnecessary signage they have constructed on such beautiful, pristine beaches. It is the epitome of greed and lack of caring for others, IMO.

But Andy, these are the same people who had ripped up the beach for miles with their large dump trucks. What's a little signage to them now?

Thanks. I found a thread from July 2011 that shed some light on the issue.

They are not the only ones that have put up signs, there are others.

Beaches should be managed by dogs. Humans should be on leashes and require permits, and restricted hours.
