Broad Beach public access has now opened, at one of the two gates. This is great news. Perhaps my letter of protest here a few weeks ago served as a springboard for an article about this in the Los Angeles Times, which may have provoked the gate opening. Or perhaps it is just coincidence. Whatever the case, I am glad I can write something of a more positive nature and let folks know that our access has been restored. You can put away your protest signs, hacksaws and ladders. Go enjoy our beach but please remember to be respectful of the beach itself and the residents’ actual private property and their privacy. The gate swings both ways.
