How are these beaches private to begin with? I thought land right next to the ocean was basically accessible to the public.
Fucking private beach, get fucked.
It’s similarly bad on the west coast of Florida, south of Fort Myers. The massive Estero Bay is just on the edge of a huge population, and mercifully most of the mangroves between land and the water are protected, but all of the water access is privately owned either by hotels or golf club communities. Your average joe has to drive 30 minutes to the next closest boat launch and pay $40 minimum, or has an hour ride down the Estero river out to the bay or the Gulf.
I just don’t understand how they let this happen. I mean, I do.
The issue is that there is no public access that connects the beaches to the rest of the land.
There was a similar case in California where rich assholes enclosed the common pathways that connected the beach to everything else
Public roads in Wyoming have stuff like this happen as well. A popular picnic stop at the top of a small mountain I went to once had a public road all the way to the top until a guy bought the land on both sides of the road and closed it off. Now you have to park about an hour's walk down and hoof it to the top.
