Rosemary Beach trying to claim public beach east of Winston Lane

[sadie1]

30-a is exploding with turf wars.Santuary by the sea just hired a security guard to direct traffic at the end of its board walk as several neighborhoods use it.They've called the police on several people.I can see huge legal fights on the horizon

Interesting. However, what I'm complaining about should be able to be resolved by county government just by letting Rosemary Beach association know that they can't claim the beach in front of a public walkover. Whoever has moved the sign should be set straight - they don't have the right to reserve the area in front of it for their residents only.

I remember when I first bought property in Inlet Beach in 1999. It was paradise. Now, it's being spoiled by greedy people. Maybe it's time to just give up on 30A. Tired of all the hassle.

1999 was a long time ago. Did you just figure out change was coming? Is it "greedy people" or just people who want a piece of what you have? Has Rosemary Beach ruined Inlet Beach?

The way I see it you have a few options:
1. post here and hope someone else does your work.
2. pick up the phone or go visit Rosemary Beach POA office.
3. call your county commissioner.
4. move.

This is the dilemma created by deeds that go all the way to the MHWL. As shown in the pictures, Rosemary's setups appear to be encroaching on Barbara Jackson's property which is immediately to the east of the Winston Lane Beach Access. If the county has any beach there at all it will be an easement, a narrow strip between the Rosemary POA and the Jackson property, probably not more than ten feet. As it stands now, Jackson is the one with a right to complain because vendors need the permission of the upland owner to set up on "their" beach. On the other hand, Rosemary Beach or Jackson can't kick you off the beach without providing a current MHWL survey.
Ata is right, it is only going to get worse as the beach gets more and more crowded.

No need to be snippy. Since you don't know me at all, I guess you made a lot of assumptions about me that just aren't true. So, this will be the end of my posting on this thread.

I rather doubt it's a "mistake." It's likely a ploy by the chair vendors to reserve space on the public beach for the houses that are newly added near there. We are taking a photo, which I'll post when I get back.

I did notice that county law says: "No vending on public beaches shall occur without written annual authorization from the county and any private property
owner whose southern property line is contiguous to the proposed vending location."

Curious to know if the county gave their permission for this.

You can see that the sign is clearly east of the walkover, just at the point the green & white umbrellas stop.

Proud TAXPAYER and PROPERTY OWNER in Inlet Beach since 1999. If you can "guarantee" that the beach chair guys didn't put it there, show me the money.

Not trying to be snippy just responding to your posts. I'm on your side and glad you brought the issue to our attention. Can't wait to see the response by RB...
