Safety of beach and walkovers

[jpbhen]

how safe is the 30A beach area (and public walkovers) in terms of walking alone at any time, especially dusk - or even for older couples? some activity looked a bit sketchy at the bramble public access a few days ago. just wondering!

I have never heard of any problems or crimes on the beach or walkovers. Santa Clara Access (at Bramble Grove Place) is hidden from view of Scenic 30A - what is "sketchy"?

Never heard of any issues or had any reason to be concerned and I am pretty paranoid about such things.

If you do see something that concerns you, call the Sheriff.

Being a night owl I've gone for late night walks on the beach and have never seen anyone even when there's a full moon.

ummm . . . look under bramble. or really just at the east end of it.

Call the Sheriff - giving us vague hints accomplishes nothing.

I can't tell if you are concerned there is a homeless person living there, teenagers smoking dope, BP workers seeking shade, overly aggressive stray cats, etc.

a number of men seem to live there.

we are really asking if it is a harmless situation, and wondered if there are other "tent locations" on 30A at public accesses. a couple of the men have been in the 30A area for a number of years, but this "home" is a relatively new thing - maybe since late summer, but started when the lifeguards were still here. we are assuming it is all harmless, but wanted to make sure. i watch too many true crime shows on cable.

There was one guy living under my neighborhood's beach access last fall, but that is all I know about.

He moved on before I felt the need to take any action - think he was more beach bum than bum as he had a nice bike and shopped at the Tom Thumb daily.

I'd call the Sheriff and let them handle it.

Camping on the beach is illegal so the Sheriff would be able to do something.

Perhaps I should take and post pictures of the homeless camp I found.
