In Panama City Beach today they were ticketing vendors. Vendors there have to be 30 feet back from the mean high water line. Here is the scoop: http://www.mypanhandle.com/news/beach-vendors-upset-over-ticketing What sets SoWal apart is the mindset of an idyllic time-gone-by experience at the...

Danny, I experienced the same at my high school. Gangs of blacks would beat the crap out of one white boy. The video brought back painful memories. I was never their target because I had many black friends from the football team but they would always hold me back from helping until the...

I for one do not enjoy this debate nor do I find any easy answers. I completely respect the views of my friends on the other side of this issue and understand why they feel as they do. I remember desegregation in DeFuniak Springs and the pain that it caused everyone. I remember "white only"...

I believe it is called the Mean High Water Line. Many times, folks will talk about wet sand. If it gets wet, it's public. However, I see the vendors set up chairs early in the morning that will be in water at high tide.

...and Restrictions and Bylaws. Share your thoughts and feelings with your County Commissioner too. does anyone know who that would be for this area? Could beach chair set ups be placed at the mean high water line on these beaches and be considered legal ? Aren't all our beaches really public?

Your Honor we rest our case.

...that's based on. They are suing, costing tax payers money but apparently that's not a consideration. If a storm hits and the mean high water line runs through the living room, can I fish from their couch? When insurance has to pay out and those Insurance costs get offset, doesn't that affect...

It has? Could you provide a link to the evidence of this happening? Otherwise, maybe the reporter just bought in. It wouldn't be the first time. You have made a claim that you can't seem to support. Evidence please?

Wow, lots of hostility towards a homeowner, that took it upon themselves to protect their private property from intrusion. Took it so far as to lawfully challenge the county when they told them they could not have the fences. Looks like the high court has ruled in favor of this on this...

...and the fact that a photo of this house was on the PC news report). Like others have said, these property owners only own to the mean high water line.

...since last year. Kellenberger spoke in support of the public’s ability to “walk, traverse, and enjoy” the beach seaward of the mean high water line. Unfortunately, he said, there are a dozen or so homeowners or associations who no longer want to see people on the beach by their homes...

You also need to establish where the boundaries are. It isn't the water, it's the Mean High Water Line, which requires a survey to establish because it has a legal definition in the Florida Statutes. Don't look for any help from the DEP as long as Rick Scott is in office. They are hunkered down...

...a Sign, Post It on the Line! With very few exceptions, most beachfront owners in Walton County only own the property to the mean high water line (MHWL). Where this is the case, the land seaward of the MHWL is owned by the state of Florida. Given that, a beachfront property owner whose...

Are you president of the Tupelo Street neighborhood association?

I just don't understand you people. If Seaside want's things a certain way, why not help them out and follow what they desire to make their beach a better place. This decision was made because the beach there was over run by people from other places. Ok then, come there to cause a scene on...

Argh.

Dogs are not allowed on the beach in the state park, even south of the high water mark. We used to walk our dogs (who all have beach tags) on the beach from Gulf Trace east towards Grayton, which took us through state park. We did it several times without incident, but then one day we happened...

I'm hoping this year's results are a fluke associated with the rains. We still have very high water in the cypress dome behind our house, so I'm not sure if that implies defective runoff into Western Lake or not. This water might be sitting fairly stagnant coursing through old Seagrove...

You know, I've been going to Eastern Lake Rd several times a year since 1988, and never knew that it was a continuation of CR 395! I guess it piggybacks 30-A from the "main" intersection in Seagrove.
