Beach Access Issues

Landowners in Maine have property rights to the low-tide mark. This is unusual, most states give property rights only to the high tide mark. This distinction in Maine dates to a time when landowners would harvest from their beach, supplementing their incomes. Today this law is used by beachfront property-owners to simply keep beaches private.

Report from Surfrider.

Pay attention, this issue can pop up at any beach at any time.

Some Willard Beach residents are trying to ban dogs. From MPBN.

Workshop & Windswell

Fun windswell over the weekend. Waist to shoulder with bigger sets. Few images here.
