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...

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.

OMG PEOPLE SMOKING ON THE BEACH LET'S BEAT TEHM!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.
