If it's a "private" beach they can pay the "public" back for the restoration and the sheriff's patrols!
I have to agree to that!

All county-maintained beach and bay accesses can be found at: http://www.protectwaltoncountybeaches.com/accesses.asp
The addresses are correct, but the map is dated and doesn't include all accesses.
come sit in front of my house! i will call the cops/sheriff! then sit back and watch!
The "private" section of the beach is supposedly from the high tide line back toward the dunes. Unfortunately, few people know this. They are just looking for a spot to enjoy themselves.
I have a friend who owns a unit on Sand Trap Road at Miramar. The A-hole who lives next door waits for people to get completely set up in front of his house, then walks out and tells them they are on private property.
If you think about it, there is nowhere you can go and NOT be on private property unless you are in a state park.
IMO, this is a pretty major issue with no easy answers.
I find it a very sad commentary on their lives/personalities that these people have to be so territorial and mean-spirited. I could see asking people to leave an area clear for a special event like a wedding, or even asking people who are being obnoxious to leave if they are somehow interfering w/ your enjoyment, but if you're not actively using the beach, why can't others enjoy it?
For those urgently needing to stake their territory, the easiest way is to put out a chair or towel and plop yourself down. I don't select a beach spot that is already occupied ;-).
This kind of behavior makes me want to channel the most obnoxious beach goer ever and go park myself on the "public" portion!
Beachbummet give us your address in bham and Seagrove we'll be more than happy to stop by! Are ya part of the green shirt cult?
When should I do this.... I have not been in the paper in over two weeks so it must be time!
