Full and Fair Access to Beaches
- "Surfrider Foundation believes decision-making bodies should recognize the following principles when evaluating beach access issues: The public has an inherent right of access to and along all beaches and shorelines... The public should be afforded full and fair access to beaches, which are public trust resources, by minimizing the possibility of impediment; including development, subdivision or land use zoning change; or deterring obstacles, including gates, fences, hired security, misleading signage, rock walls, shrubbery or other blockades, being placed upon public rights of way to beach access." - excerpt from this web page in Surfrider Foundation's State of the Beach report.
