Seaside and Private Access

[Smiling JOe]

New sign on the west end of Seaside. They are not noting that the beach is private, but they are saying the accesses are private. I wonder what they expect non-Seaside guests, who are on the beach to do when they need to use the bathroom, some in the town of Seaside which are public? Can you see someone who really has to go wasting time arguing with a Seaside Security guard? Any thoughts?

These are the same signs they posted on 30-A in August prompting the Seaside beaches posted "private" and "security enforced" thread.

Apparently they were having trouble w/ folks renting nearby thinking they had use of the pavillions.

Way to spoil the scenic beauty of the beach Seaside! Signs at the accesses & on the pavillion to solve a problem are one thing........

I might not be understanding this correctly, but won't that hurt the business in Seaside? We stay in Seagrove and always walk down the beach to get to Seaside (instead of the road) Does that mean I can't walk up to Bud and Ally's for lunch anymore?

I can not believe there is a real problem that is causing Seaside to post these signs? What could it be:

too many people eating at the restaurants;
too many people shopping at the stores;
too many people enjoying the town and planning to come back next year as Seaside vacationers.....

This Private Beach mania is getting out of hand...and, IMO, for no good reason.

What are people going to do...steal the beach?:

I think their businesses are already suffering from building on what used to be a parking area for the public.

I think this private beach thing has gotten way out of hand too. Don't like this at all.:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

I could somewhat understand Seaside posting the earlier signs when I was told it was because of people using their private pavillions (a finite and built space), but this growing trend of involving security and posting signs on the beaches is completely ridiculous!

Rules, rules, rules, and lots of fences is not what the beach lifestyle is about!

Seriously, everyone is getting WAY too possessive and territorial about sand! There will ALWAYS be arseholes whose behavior makes people mad and there will ALWAYS be crowds at popular places or where there are many units. Creating ill will and refusing to share your toys will not improve these situations in any way.

Lets tear down the sign! Just kidding. But come on now. That is just silly. So - when we are walking down the beach from, oh lets say Watercolor, do we have to swim in the gulf to avoid the 'private beach'??

Some people are just too petty.

Wow.

Very sad.

But not surprised.

Out with Shades. Out with the Sushi guy. Out with the parking. Post the 'residents only' signs. And now, restrictions on the beach.

The old guard with their vision of a downtown by the beach is out, and the new guard, living at an exclusive, Naples-like resort, is apparently in.
