I agree the "terrorizing pedestrians" was a little strongly worded but that's how my 11 year old described the road so thats what I wrote.

A representative of Beaches of South Walton responded to my email. Someone within the group asked me to post the reply so here it is. No one else responded. Below is their response and below that is my response to them. We are looking into going to Seabrook SC on vacation next year. Anyone...

Actually I calculated the impact as higher including rent/food/play etc. My family in our rental spends about 4k. My wife's sister's family stays in Seaside where they spend probably around 8k for the same two weeks. My mothers bridge group probably spends about 2k while in Seagrove. Walt...

The community issue is one we are fighting and winning in downtown Atlanta. The old neighborhoods were laid out in such a way to encourage interaction of neighbors. In the 90s property values sky rocketed and developers came in and bulldozed the old houses to put massive cheaply built eye...

I followed Dune-AHH's recommendation and sent a letter to the Sun editor, but I believe we are done with South Walton. The frustration of rehashing last summers incident makes me realize we just need to move on and vacation some where else. We really love our pre 2007 memories of South Walton...

Neither the Walton County tourism office nor the commissioners even acknowledged receipt of my questions. Excluding the weekend its been three days. What's a reasonable amount of time we should wait for an answer? I at least expected the tourism office to respond. Seems like they would have...

I hope all is well with this group and that Walton County has addressed the beach access issue. Today I sent the following email to the Walton County tourism office as well as the county commissioners. Depending on the response we may or may not be visiting your lovely beach again. My...

Sorry to say but appears to me the local way of live is going the way of the native folks along the coast of Georgia. If you start calling yourselves "Resorts" sounds like the county will listen to you. This was my response to the TCD email.

I got this response today from the Walton County TDC:

We were interviewed by a NWF Daily News reporter this afternoon about our family's trespassing violation. The reporter seems to be looking into if there is an increase in these enforcements/encounters between owners and tourist. My wife's impression is that the reporter thinks this happens...

I assume you did own the land under the river but not the water flowing over it. You probably could have made an issue of people standing on the river bed. There have been many legal battles over river access on the east coast. The legal battle I have been most involved with is access to the...

If sea level is rising then retreat will be the only option. You guys will know the answer to a question that came up in my office awhile ago. So, you can get insurance on the house but what about the property? What happens when all the property corners are now out in the water and the...

I am irritated by the property owners arrogance and I am also irritated by what could be considered entrapment by the county encouraging tourist to use the "public" beaches while at the same time enforcing no trespassing laws. As a visitor to your forum I promise that am not trying to flame...

There is a problem and it is more than a poorly informed public. I am the husband of Lola above. We have vacationed at Seagrove for over 15 years and rented the same house for the past 10 years. We felt humiliated by the experience of being removed with our children by police from a beach that...

One cop on 331 and 5 cops cuffing and arresting a peaceable trespasser seems like a poor focus of county resources. I have not seen one deputy on 30A to slow down the crazed drivers after being here for over a week. Deputies spending their time removing 10 year old trespassers from beaches but...
