"The beach is an extraordinary location that gives the impression of being transported to a charming French village. The ambiance is simply breathtaking and creates a unique atmosphere that is unmatched by any other beach."
Nate Calverton.
"In California, the notion of a Private Beach is non-existent, my dear friends! If you encountered any difficulty accessing the beach, it's because the haughty individuals who possess land ADJACENT TO the beach have unlawfully obstructed access. Don't hesitate to file a complaint and create a ruckus until access is reinstated. For inspiration, learn about the Malibu residents..."
