Yay!Others drove seven hours from Riverside to a commission meeting in Santa Cruz to plea the case for access.
Or walk. Or take a boat.Access is already there....for those strong enough to paddle in....as the article says.
Article says they want picnic tables and bathrooms.mundus said:This is a tough one, the landowners seem like a bunch of dickheads. However they are right that if opened to public the place will be ruined.
My folks were telling me surf schools have already moved into Privates bringing vans full of kooks, blocking driveways, and being loud and obnoxious as most surf schools are. Can't wait till they head down on a nice summer day and find out the other reason the place got its name. Dark times.grapedrink said:The situation with Private’s in Capitola, while far smaller in scale, is even more rediculous in principal. The beach is not even private, anyone can buy a key ($75/year, I think?). Even if you don’t want to pay, there are literally miles of public beaches access points in both directions, including some directly adjacent to Private’s, with cheap if not free parking.
But no, people can’t be bothered going to another beach literally a stones throw away. Every beach needs free access, parking, bathrooms, everything!!!
Yeah fook that. NPR out of SF did a whole segment on beach access where they talked about the ranch, private’s, Martins beach, etc. One of the panelists was saying, “what about someone from San Jose who visits for the day and doesn’t have a key or the money to buy one?”sizzld1 said:My folks were telling me surf schools have already moved into Privates bringing vans full of kooks, blocking driveways, and being loud and obnoxious as most surf schools are.

Hell, you can walk from 1st Point to the Capitola Wharf at low tidegrapedrink said:The situation with Private’s in Capitola, while far smaller in scale, is even more rediculous in principal.

Novak is one of the saltiest and opinionated humans alive. Expect him to wage war.Greg Griffin said:I was given my key to Privates in 1965 , none were for sale when I was there .
Jon Mel oversaw the selling of these during the 80's on
Richard Novak - NHS - paid big bucks for 2 properties a few years ago to combine them to make his new house just north of Privates .
Bet he's stoked the streets will be packed all the way to the Hook .
My friend Betty Young sold her house above Sharks Cove just recently - one of the original 2 houses on Opal Cliffs Drive .
He's got a gate in front of his place now so it probably won't bug him much once he's behind it, but the front of his place is ground zero for surf school and all other manners of kookdom these days.beerbelly said:Novak is one of the saltiest and opinionated humans alive.

It's private land. Why does everyone need access to it? And yes, public access will absolutely ruin the place. Surfers pretty much ruin everything. Just look at Malibu and the North Shore for examples.mundus said:This is a tough one, the landowners seem like a bunch of dickheads.
