My first experience with public/private beach issue

[Smiling JOe]

justalocal, thanks for the map. That has for a long time been known as the Fort Panic Access, but I guess that name doesn't sit well for tourists. There are more accesses to the west as you note, but they are not on 30A. Ft Panic (Dune Allen) is the last one directly located on 30A

You're right.

:nono1: Shhh! Don't tell anyone about the other ones! They are quiet & very peaceful, without too many signs.

Don't worry, once people hear that there is no parking at them, they quickly drive elsewhere.

That's a good thing!A jogging stroller & bikes still have parking at them.

Psst, don't tell them about Dune Allen either!

I think most locals will not ever really have a problem finding a way to the beach. I'm most concerned about our visitors. I want to share the beauty and enjoyment of this area. I love to see people from other places discover our piece of paradise. Not just the beach and Gulf but the Bay, creeks, rivers, parks, and multiuse paths too. It warms my heart to know people come here on vacation and make memories that last a lifetime. I love to travel and find my favorite places are those where the locals are glad I'm there and anxious to share the best their locations have to offer.

I know. I end up telling everyone where I think the coolest locations are. I can't not tell them. It's why I love living here.

The BCC has solved the problem. From the new animal control ordinance,


(p) ?Public Beach? shall be defined as:

1) The land from the mean high tide line to the Gulf of Mexico;
2) The sandy area next to the mean high tide on which the public has had customary use.


Finally someone has stated the obvious.

 

[Smiling JOe]

lol. Funny how they worded #2. Now people apparently have to prove customary use, as people erect no trespassing signs on property which has been customarily used by the public.
