I met a young professional married couple in our community last night at dinner, recent transplants from afar. They have 2 young kids, and after a while of chatting, they disclosed their uneasiness in going to their neighborhood beach access. They “Were very afraid of confrontation”. So instead, they only went to state park beaches. Here was my advice...
Don’t be afraid, you’ll be just fine. It isn’t nearly as bad as the social media and liberal panhandle newsrags are reporting. There are absolutely a handful of complete beachfront jerks, so stay away from them: here, here, and here.
Otherwise, when you suspect you are on private property, be respectful. Act as if you are a guest, because you are. No normal beachfront property owner will kick a young family off of the beach when being respectful.
What does that mean? Don’t set up a “camp” on their beach, don’t play loud music, or dig up holes and trenches and then don't fill them in, don’t throw trash around, or leave cigarette butts, or get drunk & obnoxious, etc. Beachfront property owners, for the most part, welcome respectful, quiet, beach goers with zero chance of having an issue.
I also pointed out that now that the recent court docs are showing what we’ve been predicting here since April, the loud and obnoxious trumpeters of CU propaganda have all but disappeared from their normal perches, as their credibility is all but gone. I comforted this family in the fact that most of us enjoyed seeing them enjoying the beach with their children, and we would always be there to protect the beach atmosphere we’re known for around here. But without the senseless ambush videos and public hysteria orchestrated by a now retreating few, to drive a political agenda of further future overdevelopment.
I then directed them to a story here about a “30A legacy” of a unique beach atmosphere that will return once the truth about this manufactured CU hoax comes out in plain view. Almost there.....
