Sometimes we win... Newest National Park
National Monument into National Park - White Sand Dunes
Forum Discussion
Yes the coasts are theoretically public but these big new parks grab a lot more land than a narrow coastal strip occupies. Is there a 10,000 acre Big Sur National Monument for example, one that would suck in lots of Monterrey real estate? (If I have my geography right, it's been years since I was there.) I'd say that area certain deserves more than the tiny state park.
Florida coastal lands to the high tide mark are public too, but developers just build above that point and eliminate all parking spaces, effectively blocking access. Try to get to the beach in Sarasota for example. There is actually a narrow public access corridor with the nearest public parking miles away.
