I wish you luck, Z15 !

No luck.. Could not get closer than about 0.15 miles because its all private residential. Even the access road into area is marked private but I went anyway. DGPS pointed me right into a new pricey home location with a gate blocking drive. Nothing public for 2 miles in any direction. Very nice sandy beach all along this locale.

Well I have heard of them Sunny beaches before,

This one sounds like it may have been one of those.

 

I wish you could have gotten to it.

I had a simalar experience with a gated community on one of the Lewis and Clark marks(Tavern Rock).

I went to the HQ and asked for (permission)guidence in and they allowed me in...escorted of course.

 

But then left me alone for the rest of the day.......it was a great find.

200 years and 1 day after Lewis and Clark walked there.

I had to wait the day for permission,the next day was a Monday,no one there on Sunday.
