Some of beach front lands were in private ownership before the access law passed. One notable example is Hollister ranch another is Martins beach. This lawsuit means that there's no pre-existing or effective easement for the road because the previous owners charged for access / parking. So as much as we want this land to be open and accessible, it is not. You can also legally access the beach by boat.
