They need their butts kicked! Talk about an affront to every Walton County resident and tourist. This is, indeed, the height of arrognance, but then what can you expect of a town where only money rules and they have more of it than sense.

It says "seating limited", not "beach use limited". I'm wondering if they mean the chairs set out? Often I've seen people not realize those chairs are set up and paid for by specific people. I heard at one time they were trying a bracelet program at Seaside--requiring that Seaside renters wear a plastic bracelet when they go to the beach. Have no idea if they enforced this, or if they are going to expand this idea.

One of the things we like about Seaside is the beach pavilions aren't gated, but I'm wondering if that's next, similar to Alys and Rosemary. I'm guessing the open access is why Seaside often gets so mobbed at peak season and Rosemary isn't as bad. I've been told by retailers in Seaside that parents will drop their tweens and teens off in Seaside for the whole day (they aren't staying there) and pick them up later which accounts for some unruly conditions. I can see why Seaside would want to do something about this, but that means limiting public access which isn't exactly in line with new urbanist ideals.

If the sign refers to the seating of chairs that are set up, they need to so indicate. The beach belongs to everyone past the HMWL.

I believe Seaside would say the sign is intended for the Cabana Man chair sets if asked, but it certainty implies something else at first glance. It is a well thought out wording in my opinion.

I agree. It's, more or less, saying :"don't use the chairs".
