has anyone heard anything about the County and the private property owner recently coming to terms for the County to acquire the beach parcel at the Eastern Lake outflow (19-3S-18-16080-000-0130) that is directly south of the Walton County Port Authority parcel containing the Eastern Lake beach access?
I heard this was the case from two different sources a few weeks ago while spending time on the isthmus. We haven't seen any of the "no trespassing" signs or the signs restricting people to use a certain beach chair vendor this year; in fact, we haven't seen many vendor beach chair setups on the parcel this year.

No one has mention one reason home owners may( not all owners) want their beach private? Home owners can put their Beach fronts up for bid with the vendors and get a percentage of the rental business.. This happened a lot last summer..

The Beach Ambassador program is a great supplement to enforcement, but it doesn't address the worst problem out there IMO, which is people staking a claim on prime beach for hours on end whether they are there or not. Many of these setups are there all day taking up large sections of beachfront in order to "hold" spots. Certainly, vendors may have started this issue, but it has definitely expanded to virtually everyone who either lives on or visits the beach. Some solutions to that problem would be really helpful.
