Seaside, Oregon is a lovely little town; and last time I was there I saw no private beach signs, and I took all the photos I wanted...:cool:

Dont pick on the Red Shrits. They are doing what they are told to do.
So dont shoot the message. (or photo them) They have kids to feed, bills to pay just like everyone else. Most have only been there for 3or 4 months and some only a week or two.
There are rules about taking photos in Seaside and I know that the security officer was not trying to harm anyone.
The man in the "Red Shirt" may be the one that saves a life as they have
CPR training. The men there all for the most part want to do a good job.

I'm a little late entering this conversation, but this whole thing seems so absurd to me! I can see why Seaside might want to restrict professional photography, but banning family photos? That's ridiculous.

Tangentially, I couldn't believe how many "Private Beach -- Do Not Trespass" signs I saw while walking this AM. There are many more than there were a month or two ago.

Another example that the mentality along Highway 30-A has changed in the last five years -- I remember seeing commercial signs on 30-A spray-painted with graffiti saying, "No big signs on 30-A." Now the TDC has put up big blue signs on 30-A.
I don't believe that there is a rule against "family photos" unless the family is paying someone to take the pics. In that case permission must be given to use a pavillion or other places in Seaside for the shoot. Easier to stick to the beach, there is a public access at the border with Watercolor.

like others including myself said said earlier, it's not a new rule and it's professional photographers only. Did I miss reading something where personal photos are not allowed to be taken? I guess I am missing what the big deal is.
