Dave Raushkolb: Customary Use Shouldnʼt Require Defending

[Truman]

I have no problem with Dave making money at either a public or private beach in SoWal. And also have him advocate for us all to have the right to use our beaches as we have for generations.

Anyone trying to make an argument about his business is grasping for straws.

C'mon dude. Come up with your own letter If your side is right show us you got balls.

House Bill 631. There were 95 yeas, multiply that by 2 which equals 190 manberries we got.

In a word, YES. The beach behind Bud & Alley's is public. You can set up chairs or rent them and you can use my businesses bathrooms without having to spend a cent. The developer has chosen to make the downtown beach public. The rest of Seaside has private access to the homeowner areas. Come anytime.

Ok, that’s great to know that we can all now use what equates to a large regional public beach access at your restaurant. So that I’m clear, I can access the beach via the area at your restaurant, but then set up my chairs and belongings in front of one of the developer’s private beach accesses per customary use, correct?

We need to get the word out that this is a public access. Most people probably didn’t know this. I’ve been visiting the area since 1988 and had no idea! It’s a great access with great facilities!

No one said anything about setting up on private property.

But isn’t the beach in front of the “private accesses” actually PUBLIC property according to the customary use concept? Isn’t that what the customary use debate is all about? I’m not taking about “private access” pavilions, I’m talking about the sandy beach in front of them. Can I “sit on a towel” any of the dry sand there?

Stop over thinking it and catch some rays.

Beginning midnight tonight, you may not do so. Doing so after that is trespassing. From the Gulf to th4e MHWL or ECL is public. Private beach landward of MHWL or ECL is off limits to the general public.

So perhaps I should ask Dave:

Could my family and I come and park our vehicle in a public parking space near the beachfront restaurant and then go set up our chairs and umbrellas in front of the beachfront restaurant and spend the day there? Would the beachfront restaurant and its surrounding community allow us to do that even if we are not eating there or staying there?

Starbucks would..all welcome to use wifi and bathrooms and buy nothing..gotta be PC.you know

If there's no plan to enforce .. Who cares?
