Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Take another look at the beach shelters. I can see the ocean; there's just a hint of a breaking wave next to the guy in the blue shirt. The actual horizon line kind of fades into the sky, but you can see a little of it if you look hard enough. Too bad about the beach tag. At least that's one aggravation I don't have to deal with.

Yeah, NJ beaches are generally obnoxious. No tag, no admission; residents and guests of local hotels get tags. Fortunately we're not beach types.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Wow. Pay to use beaches? More commodification of what used to be considered common areas. In Nova Scotia, where my parents are from, beaches are common areas, as is access to them. Community easements have existed for hundreds of years. Now people from other areas (meaning other countries as well as other parts of Canada) are snatching up relatively cheap seaside land and building huge vacation houses. Then they put up fences and no trespassing signs preventing locals from using traditional pathways to the shore. I'm sure they could go to court to have these easements recognized but who can afford that?

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Of course the beaches in Nova Scotia are free. The water is so cold that they have to pay people to wade into the surf. G There are free beaches is Jersey, like Atlantic City, Wildwood and the federal and state parks. Many smaller towns sell beach badges as a means of paying for boardwalks, concert halls, sand restoration, beach clean-up and life guards. Th sand below the mean high water line is controlled by the state, in trust for the people. That means one can walk on any beach, along the water line. Beach badges are required for many municipal funded beaches only for sitting and sunning on the beach, and for entry through the municipal access points. There is a lot of sentiment for requiring towns that are taking state and federal money to repair Sandy damage to open their beaches to everyone, without charge.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Yeah, the water on mainland Nova Scotia is pretty cold. You get used to it, so the locals say, but I never did. I'm told the beaches on the Atlantic side of Cape Breton are quite warm as the Gulfstream hits it before turning east towards Europe. I've never been to Cape Breton so have no personal experience. My little tirade was not directed toward New Jersey ~per se~ but toward the rampant privatization of what has traditionally been common areas. It's happening everywhere. I'm glad that the beaches from high water down to the water are still common areas, but if all ingress and egress is private and tightly controlled then it's rather moot isn't it? Sure you can walk along from adjoining beaches but restrictions make that more onerous and eventually all such access to those beaches from land will disappear. And that will be a great shame IMHO.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
Lee and I visited Cape Breton a few years ago. It was quite scenic, and very thinly populated. The only local we met was the owner of a gas station and general store; He was a Jersey boy who moved there a few year earlier. We drove the Cabot trail, and stopped at most of the scenic overlooks. The trail was plastered with signs advising the location of the Wi-Fi hot spots. The best aspect of Cape Breton is the Celtic culture. We attended two ceilidhs in Baddeck; both were excellent, with music and dance that matched or surpassed any Celtic performance I've seen in Ireland, Wales or Scotland. In fact, I'm quite certain that there is a higher percentage of Gaelic speakers in Nova Scotia than anywhere in the British Isle, except perhaps Dingle.

No tag, no admission; residents and guests of local hotels get tags. Fortunately we're not beach types. Don't know about alcoholic beverages; except that the whole town of Ocean City is still dry.

Re: PESO - Cape May beach, 10 am
From: knarftheriault Wow. Pay to use beaches? More commodification of what used to be considered common areas. In Nova Scotia, where my parents are from, beaches are common areas, as is access to them. Community easements have existed for hundreds of years. Now people from other areas (meaning other countries as well as other parts of Canada) are snatching up relatively cheap seaside land and building huge vacation houses. Then they put up fences and no trespassing signs preventing locals from using traditional pathways to the shore. I'm sure they could go to court to have these easements recognized but who can afford that? Another sigh (second today). cheers, frank It's sort of happening on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Except that NC law doesn't permit the homeowner to close off beach access. There are some places where private beach access is curtailed, but that's because they've been replaced by Public Access points. The state municipalities have done a fair job of ensuring there is some public parking for beach goers. It ain't always cheap. But, at least we have Cape Hatteras National Seashore the like where the parking is free (camping costs a nominal fee $20 - $25/night) Hammocks Beach State Park has free primitive campsites, but the ferry costs $5 round trip (no vehicles, carts or wagons allowed, wheelchairs strollers OK). Parking is free if you have your own canoe/kayak you don't need to ride the ferry. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Thanks, Dan, and thanks to the others that commented. This shot was taken at 10 am, and by about 11 the place was teeming. And that was on a weekday! So, plan your trip accordingly.
