Nothing new. South Carolina has a law granting 1 mile to seaward to every little island fiefdom, all run by the real estate politicians, in the state. Out 1 mile from any of them, a simple city ordinance can now ban boating, entirely, if the waterfront property owners and land developers simply flex their muscles. Hilton Head Island's billionaires were the first to flex. http://www.hiltonheadisland.com/beach.htm http://www.hiltonheadislandsc.gov/Forms/BOATAPP.pdf If the city likes your boat, you can land it on the beach for $120, after they inspect it, of course, to see if it meets their snooty standards. Isn't that nice of them? And don't be anchoring your floating RV out in front of my mansion! I paid big money for this little piece of swamp and I'll be damned if we're gonna let you anchor out there and block the view FOR FREE! Larry Well, Larry, it does help keep the riff-raff out. :} |
