This isn't about the beach itself, it's about whether he's obligated to keep open (and presumably maintain) a private access road that runs through his property. If the state wants to keep the road open, they should negotiate an easement and maintain the road themselves -- it doesn't make much sense that a property owner be obligated to provide a road for the public without some sort of compensation.
- olliej 8y agoHe purchased the property knowing that the beach was public property, and that he had to leave an access way to that property. He then barred access anyway. If he didn’t want people crossing his property he could have bought property elsewhere. His intent however was clearly to create a de facto private beach by violating the laws he agreed to when buying the property.
