Bayfront Beach

Wonderful place to take the family, relax and find some sharks teeth (I guarantee you’ll find at least two teeth every time). Also nice for a stroll on the beach by yourself. It’s the perfect little spot. And if you get tired of the beach take a walk on our beautiful boardwalk.

This beach was meant to be shared as a natural resource. It was bad enough when the town charged ? per person and then would lock up the portapots after you paid. But I was willing to pay. That amount of money surely was able to help with cleanup and erosion. They used covid to keep people out. That town is only thriving because they encouraged visitation, but now they’re mad about it. I will never go to rod and reel again, which I went to many times after the beach, along with papa johns, McDonald’s and the Waterpark. I wish everyone would stop visiting and let those tax monies dry up! This is what’s wrong with this country. Everyone is an outsider. Nobody embraces others and everyone is selfish over natural resources.

Wow, the land this park is on was originally my ancestor’s in 1634, but now the town wants to keep people out? I, too, paid the ridiculous fee just to walk the muddy shore years ago. Hopefully the town will use the funds to investigate the suspicious fire that destroyed my ancestral home, Upper Bennett, in the late 80’s, after which a housing subdivision suddenly appeared…but I doubt any town officials want that.

Absolutely disgusting community attitude toward people in the surrounding area coming to visist. As someone from South Florida visiting the Chesapeake Bay area I have never seen signs denying access to a public beach like this. Guess i’ll take my money and photography elsewhere.

Edit: Just read the Town Code cited, they can’t actually ask non-residents not to come to this beach. It simply gives the town the ability to restrict areas of a public space to the public. It doesn’t allow them to specifically restrict a public space to residents only.

“Certain areas of a public park or public venue, and all areas of a restricted property, may be designated by the Town or other public entity as an area to which access by the public is restricted. Such designation shall be included on a sign to be posted at the perimeter or access point to the restricted area. For restricted areas within a public park or public venue, such restricted areas shall be described in any recitation of the rules that are distributed or posted on the property. It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to enter an area to which access is restricted unless acting under the authority of the Town or other public entity. Any person or entity violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a municipal infraction and, upon conviction thereof, is subject to a fine of ?.”

I understand having nice places stay nice but this whole area lost its appeal. Coming back from ocean city which is FREE and fun, this was the wrong stop to make. Can’t even go anywhere, everything’s closed at night, every turn is closed, nature is restricted which is wild. Can anyone say where a free beach is, does the bay even have anyNULL!! People say screw it and just go here, sure, as you most likely have someone posted under an umbrella ready to tell you to leave.Also…NULL for a state park tooNULL Come to PA. 8 miles of trail with kayaking and multiple waterfalls for FREE because that’s what it should be. Plus, your residents need a beach pass? What are they paying for towards their taxes then? 1.6 stars for a beautiful main beach, do better. People roam Myrtle Beach at night and you guys are worried about what? Cleanliness? Maybe let people pay to visit and you’d have money to pay people to help out. I’m shocked the cliffs are open, they were closed in 2014.
