You have just recited one of the best reasons for beach renourishment. BMB is not for tourist crowds, though it is tourist friendly. Like much of SoWal there is room for only so many.
Pay to park in Seaside?

Really? BMB is not for Tourist crowds? You are implying it is best left to the homeowners to enjoy, after all they own the Beach right? I live in a house ON the BEACH in Seagrove. My Deed says I own the Beach down to the mean water line. But unlike you, I am happy to share my piece of Paradise with Tourists! Sometimes there are rude people, or unleashed dogs, but you know what, every day is a good day when you are at the Beach! As far are Beach nourishment is concerned, it is like flushing money down the drain. Each new storm will sweep it all away, and bring it back it in. Beaches repair themselves. If someones home is in danger of falling because it is too close to the edge of a dune, I get that that would be a bad situation to be in. Move your house back. Besides if you let your Beach be renourished, they take ownership it. Its true check it out. Stop being such a snob.

In defense to AA. I believe you misinterpreted what he was saying. AA hasn't been like the Retreat folks who believe that they are the only ones that should be on the beach. From his comments in the past he has felt that the beach is for everyone. Just respect it and keep it clean.
Stating that, I believe he was trying to say that the beaches in BMB are too narrow for large tourist groups. I would agree. Since they put in the huge complexes like Adagio the beaches have looked like something out of South Beach in the summer...a real zoo. The beaches can handle only so many people and was adequate for the numbers prior to the megacondo developments. BMB is still a wonderful beach in the fall/winter/spring but I rarely go there in the summer and I only live 1/4 mile from it....

Thank you, Arkiehawg for the very good clarification. It is absolutely correct. As you pointed out, we have always considered our beach open to anyone who wants to use it. As for renourishment, not so hippiechick might want to contact Brad Pickle to find out theadvantages to beach renourishment. One more thing. It would make me joyous to see all beaches in Florida declared public because God created them for everyone.
