In this case the beach is now off limits to all vessels. There were tons of Kayakers, dingy sailors, and cat sailors that just lost access to the water. The next legit launch area is 1.5 miles North to the Harbor where my shop is and the next one south is Moss Landing about 15 miles. It's a short step for some bureaucrat to go from, you can't store your boat here, to no boats of any kind anywhere on the beach, which is what happened.
I just hate to see any access to the water lost. Here in CA there's definitely a shortage.
