That seems like overkill for a day at the beach.

Super uninformed question, but is there access to beaches or the ocean at all over there?

I like surfing at this beach. It is a shame an amicable solution could not be found. This is a big loss for the public.

Can't people just walk around the gate? The beach should be connected to the ocean which should be connected to other beaches, last I checked how those things work.

Pretty sure we do beaches better than you guys.

I plan beach visits based on tides, does that count?

reidjs Nov 13, 2023 View on HN

is something like this possible for an outdoor setting like a beach?

Seems pretty narrow-minded. There are many ways to enjoy a beach. A surfer might say the same thing about you just sitting on a towel (or whatever you do at the beach).

Why are you even at the beach in this scenario?

I know a few, if the surf is pumping, they're generally no onsite :)
