Please don't assume that. I only point out the observation that by the placement of the private property signs only on the dunes and at the entrances to the walkovers, they don't seem to be marking the beach as their own private property.

The last thing I want to see is private property signs on the beach.

And the LAST thing I want to see is an unsuspecting tourist hauled off to jail because they were unaware of the Retreat's position because there were no signs.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

There are private beaches in Walton County and Florida.
Tona-Rama "sort of" opens the door.
The public must sue/prove on a "case by case" basis based on Tona-Rama and perhaps other decisions.
The public cannot decide this case on their own or "take the law into their own hands".
The Sheriff is sworn to uphold the law.
Many other states also enforce private beach policy.

Possible solutions:
Buy out beach front property and or easement rights.
Bring suit against each and every property owner where the public claims the beach should not be private.
Beach renourishment.
Convince private property owners that socialism works.
:roll:

Any other input?

Have a HUGE sit in on the beach, with so many people that the Sheriff has to call in the National Guard to help with the arrests of peaceful beach goers.

Tell you what, SJ - if you organize it and get at least 200 folks to commit, I'll drive the 250 miles and join you.

and the Sheriff can't call the national guard because they are in Iraq fighting Bush's war...

Degummit Bobby J, how is this thread going to end when you keep posting???:D

Seriously, about your comment, "Let the courts decide!". I sort of asked you earlier if you were coordinating a legal assault. How is the court going to decide unless a suit is brought against an "offending" property owner?

It looks like allot of balls are in motion. Am I coordinating a legal assault? Only time will tell. Now answer my question. How come you always bring up my RE business?
