I thought that all CA beaches were public? What made this one different? EDIT: Ah, It's not really the beach being public that is in dispute. It's the extra "sandy beach" space above the high tide line and the parking lot as you explain here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16909487 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16909487 Got it. The press on this case has been horrible at explaining the actual dispute.

The press on this case has been horrible at explaining the actual dispute I don't count Bloomberg as "press". The situation has been covered in depth locally for years (e.g. by the Mercury).

  The Mercury isn't doing a good job either. See this example from today: https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/24/martins-beach-supreme-court-moves-closer-to-taking-case-over-billionaire-vinod-khoslas-attempt-to-block-public-access/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/24/martins-beach-supreme... This story does not make it at all clear that the suit isn't so much about a road, but also a parking lot and access to a sandy beach above the high tide mark.
