I am surprised more states do not have laws like Hawaii's where you are required to provide beach access. Shame for such a nice beach to go to waste.

  They do. He ignores and contravenes them.

    Why isn't he thrown in jail, or why isn't the fence bulldozed down? Where I currently live (a somewhat well-off area), bulldozers (and self-entitled assholes) are a common occurrence.

      I wonder if the property is on his name, or some shelter company.

  That is the law for California. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/sdut-public-right-beach-access-coastal-commission-2015feb05-story.html http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/sdut-... > In 2014 the Legislature and Governor Brown gave the California Coastal Commission the authority to fine property owners who intentionally block public access to the coast. That authority was included in the 2015-2016 state budget, based on legislation I had written in 2013 to achieve the same goal. The California Costal Commission website - https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/prc-access.html https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/prc-access.html And then from there to https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/pr-access-facts.pdf https://www.coastal.ca.gov/access/pr-access-facts.pdf > The California Coastal Act, Public Resources Code Section 30211, states: > Development shall not interfere with the public’s right of access to the sea where acquired through use, or legislative authorization, including, but not limited to, the use of dry sand and rocky coastal beaches to the first line of terrestrial vegetation.

  They do. But if you can drag out litigation & appeals in the courts for a decade or three, viola, private beach.
