Beach Access 33 closed

Late last month, Public Beach Access #33 was closed after it was determined to be privately owned by the Murchison family.
The Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen voted 3-2 last night to drop the issue and leave the beach access closed. Alderman Steve Whalen and Alderman David Cignotti voted against dropping the issue.
What do you think about this?

Thats unacceptable to remove a beach access. There are already enough restrictions, why take away what has been there for ever?

Maybe this is something that should be looked at again.

They have been condemning land up in Kitty Hawk, for the public good (development). Why not here so people can get out to the beach without walking a mile and a half? In defense of the Murchisons though, the decision to close it was probably a result of abuse the access.
