I wonder if the thinking is to just add more parking to the existing site at some point. I hope not - that park is one of the county's best, and has preserved some amazing habitat.

The parking is not at the access site, just up the street,  but while I was there people were walking to the access. We can't continue to complain about parking/ overcrowding issues then say NIMBY. If the access is a county maintained access then provide parking. Just my opinion.

Maybe, are we talking about 2 different places? The one I was talking about currently has no parking and no room to upgrade it short of buying property to do so. Just so everyone is aware, I do not own the property referenced or have a financial interest in it.

The main Inlet Beach Access Park with parking and restrooms. The lots in the original post were to supplement.
