Silver Sands would have been a better choice. But look at it this way, residents of any given town already pay taxes some of which go to maintaining and staffing the beaches. Di think $40.00 is high? I do, and personally I would never pay it, but if it were cheaper, say $5-$10 the beaches would be overwhelmed, more staff would be needed, more maintenance, more problems. The higher cost does help keep the overcrowding at bay, so that residents can enjoy their beaches, but I do believe the towns that charge outrageous amounts do so to keep certain folks away. Personally, If I knew all you guys from SOL were coming to our beaches, I'd charge you $500.00!! That's how to keep the SOL riff raff out! LOL! Just kidding guys. All kidding aside, I don't think there are any easy answers to beach access. However there should be some sort of night fishing pass. Free or otherwise. Imagine having law abiding people using the beaches at night, and that being an aid to law enforcement, More eyes to keep a lookout for issues. t_man7 and PSeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
