Well, thank you for speaking up, P_A. I have walked down and used Seacrest Beach behind the Alys beach
subdivision before there were any houses there and no one ever told me to move. So now they build a "town" Of 6 homeowners
, at least that's what I read on here somewhere, in the middle of an established town
, Seacrest Beach and just assume the public beach as their own. As a neighbor,
I don't think so. Mr. Hilton never complained before.
I believe that portion of the beach was renourished by the county previously, no? I saw the county bulldozer down there after Dennis and all the previous storms. I have picked up trash myself, a bunch of firework debris left on the beach this year, after the 4th, behind Alys.
If they had maintenance they didn't get it all.
Maybe I should go e-mail the commissioners. The bike path used to be really
through that area. Now its like riding through Hollyhood with guards and everything.
What about that anybody? Isn't the bike path paid for by the taxpayers? Shouldn't it have been preserved for the unique scrub ecosystem there, and the bikers through Seacrest Beach?? It's one of the reasons I purchased there originally, and now that natural habitat scenic part of the path was destroyed by Alys, and houses aren't even there yet.
I'm not saying the houses aren't pretty and they aren't nice people with all their parties. IJS...I miss the
natural part of the path. With all that party money why didn't they think about preserving the path? Why try to take the beach there as private, if that's what they are doing?
Does anyone else feel the county should be responsible for their own beaches? Probably not if you're paying maintenance fees on the beach?
Does anyone else feel the county should have at least one public access on every Walton County Beach? Is Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe area like this as far as privatizing? Is the beach more laid back there? Is the beach just as beautifiul? Do the citzens have more of a "Share the Beach" Spirit?
Look at the examples we set for our children?
Take all you can while you can.
