It's really important to click the link and read this info if you SUPPORT CUSTOMARY USE!

For those of you wondering how YOU CAN HELP to defend our CUSTOMARY USE of our Beaches. HERE’S YOUR CHANCE!

Time is of the essence! Click on https://www.co.walton.fl.us/DocumentCenter/View/30767/Support-Customary-Use-Packet

You will find a personal affidavit form that you can download and fill out, along with an instruction sheet and an identification map for your convenience. All affidavits MUST BE NOTARIZED. There are 2 places that will collect them and notarize them FREE of CHARGE. In the South, you can drop them off at the South Walton Annex Planning Department offices. In the North, you can drop them off at the County Attorney’s Office, located at 161 East Sloss Avenue in DeFuniak Springs. Out-of towners can mail NOTARIZED affidavits to the County Attorney’s Office.

Photos can be emailed to BeachIssues@co.walton.fl.us or you can drop them off at the 2 locations specified above.

Help get the word out! Please SHARE on social media, email or give to your friends, family, neighbors, church groups, community groups today, etc.

We can do this and protect our beaches and beach use for generations to come!

Thanks,
Jacquee Markel

It not surprising that BFOs keep posting plat/plot images instead of a valid,current survey that shows where the MHWL is.

Most Semi-Public beach accesses have tables set up with Affidavits and a notary to witness your signature..local citizenship not required...

Apparently the Sheriff does/did not need a MHWL survey to make an arrest for destroying signs you don't like on private property. Or north of the MHWL "wet sand" for trespass.

I personally think we all (including the sheriff and BCC) need to stop with the wet sand/dry sand s..tuff. For all I know we could have 50ft of dry sand or not even any of the wet sand below the MHWL. But we wont know that until someone coughs up that elusive current TOPO survey.
The only one I have seen posted was the one from 1991 (well out of the 18.6 year average) for Vizcaya.

Perfect example of taking something out of context. Nobody suggested beating them. I suggested being a considerate smoker. I take it you have a problem with that? Thank goodness many smokers have come around to being courteous of people around them.

If you had a bad bladder condition, you could walk anywhere you wanted too, I guess. :blink:
