This POS likes to just… block it anyways… it isn’t legal, but he’s worth $6 billion, and it’s only enforced by a small fine IIRC. And when the penalty for breaking a law is a fine, it’s only illegal if you’re poor.
However in this case this asshole is next to a bit of coastline that you can only get to by crossing his property. On land, by sea you’re free to land there.
It was available for decades until he bought the property and closed off that bit of land to the public. Effectively gaining his own private beach.
He’s been fighting against the state for years. Apparently citizens wanting access to public property are now “commies” to this asshole…
It’s very hard to undo an easement, like if there was a path to the beach there that anyone could use and now he wants to close the path. Sorry, he loses, that’s how laws work. It’s the one salvation we have in this capitalist hellscape.
I thought California legally guaranteed public access to all coastlines

That’s correct.

Someone should open up a ferry business taking people to that beach.
