May 3, 2008 - Beaches Get ExpensiveState budget difficulties are reportedly behind the proposal to end free parking at Tamarack State Beach in Carlsbad.

April 28, 2008 - Just DistractedNot that my interest in coastal access has lagged in the slightest, and the new puppy is as big a fan of dog beaches as any dog I know, but election issues and posts for KPBS, not to mention actually practicing law and earning a living, have been dominating my online time. Expect more here soon though as California’s June election with two, count-em two, propositions on Eminent Domain get closer and California’s budget crisis begins to actually impact beach use and safety. That and my various injuries heal enough to let me back in the water. > Posted by Chuck at 2:48 pm. No Comments
March 17, 2008 - Lifeguard Tower Red-TaggedInteresting that as things heat up again over the use of the Children’s Pool in La Jolla as a seal refuge, the lifeguard tower there gets red-tagged due to the city’s ongoing failure to maintain its property. The building might be unsafe, but the people in it have too often seemed to be the only one’s in the area capable of mature and reasoned thought. Who will provide adult supervision for the children now? > Posted by Chuck at 5:36 pm. No Comments
March 8, 2008 - Alcohol ban copycatsTo avoid extra work from responsible adults trying to avoid San Diego’s alcohol ban, the state beach at Torrey Pines is instituting a one-year trial ban of their own. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune article reporting on the new prohibition, only three beaches in San Diego county will continue to allow alcohol consumption: “Del Mar, Solana Beach and the Silver Strand State Beach in Coronado.” > Posted by Chuck at 4:23 pm.

February 16, 2008 - Access for ProfitNice little article in the San Diego Union-Tribune on Black’s Beach new-found popularity with film makers and photographers. Also interesting is UC San Diego’s role in controlling the only road down to the isolated stretch of sand.

February 7, 2008 - Seadrift Access UpdateS.F. Gate has an update reporting the Douglas Rigg’s lawsuit for access to the Seadrift area of Stinson Beach has been settled, with Rigg’s right to use the beach conceded by the Homeowner’s Association. While the settlement reportedly addresses only Riggs’ claim and not public access in general, though the settlement’s use as precedent should help clarify the access issues on this part of Stinson Beach. Parts of the settlement are reportedly confidential. Previously: Seadrift: NoCal’s Malibu? > Posted by Chuck at 11:03 am. No Comments

January 28, 2008 - More, elsewhereIn addition to Beachlaw and my personal site, from now through November I’m also going to be writing at KPBS’ Citizen Voices. Citizen Voices is a group blog, where I will be one of six writers covering politics during the current election cycle. Mention will certainly be made here when issues of coastal access and development come up there, and I hope that readers interested in some unique San Diego perspectives on the current election will visit, read and comment at KPBS’ site. > Posted by Chuck at 2:45 pm.
