From the previously referenced PDF document regarding Watersound's beach access and as Mr. Dave R. quotes:
So,,,,,,
If I grant my neighbors a permanent public easement to use my privately owned driveway for public pedestrian access, does that mean they have the right to set up chairs, umbrellas, tents, coolers, play volleyball, etc, on my driveway? I'll take a giant leap of faith and say the answer is no. I don't see too much difference here.
In my opinion item (8) above is a far cry from Watersound recognizing customary use as D.R. suggests unless there is other verbiage in the document that suggest otherwise.
Interestingly in the same thought as above, Sara Comander alludes that private property owners in Walton County are preventing the public from traversing across their private beach like she "used to do in Daytona when her mother would let her". Nothing could be further from the truth....at least on our beach and other owners that I know. We don't need a #8 to be civil to those who simply walk through our private sandy beach property.

On customary use.....As far back as 1995 both the state of Florida and St. Joe Co. understood the concept of customary use.
