When Walking Along the Sand in Palm Beach, This is About the Extent of the Beach You're Allowed on!

We're Editorializing here! (Because to us, that isn't so great a law! Smacks of elitism! Many US states don't have such a thing as "Private Beaches." Just bring your blanket, settle down & enjoy your day.)

Beach walkers like to walk along the wave's shore-break. Maybe for morning daily exercise. Or in the evening to view a gorgeous beach sunset or sunrise with palm trees in view.

PALM BEACH SUNSET BEACH STORY:

Sunset Beach Palm Beach property owners one day decided they didn't care for just anyone being able to walk along that shore. They put up signs at the public access declaring the beach was private.

Saying "No Trespassing." Yet they only own Sunset Beach to the high-tide line.

Sometimes these owners even harass those walking the shoreline.

That's according to Christine, a news reporter. Saying she's had that experience.

She expressed that it's like an us vs. them mentality. And that lately it's "getting much worse because so many people are here now." She also said it's "intimidating." Meaning: "You're really not welcome here."
