Strands Gate

Strands Gate A fight to maximize beach access at Strands Beach in Dana Point, CA to 5 p.m. during winter months and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the summer.

When the Headlands development project at Strands Beach was approved by the California Coastal Commission, the City of Dana Point and Sanford Edward, the project developer, agreed to provide “maximum” access to Strands beach via access ways on the north, central and south ends of the development. The access ways to the north and south of the project are not gated and provide access during all beac

h hours. The Mid and Central Strands access ways have been gated and the hours have been limited to 8 a.m. The gates and limited hours restrict the most direct access to the beach, violate the agreement made when the project was approved and violate the Coastal Act. Any limitation of access requires a permit from the Coastal Commission.

No beach. We fought the revetment and lost. And the developer got exactly what he aimed for. No beach for the beach front lots and essentially no beach goers. EXCEPT, the cobbles are getting catapulted by the waves into the lots and encroaching.

Ssshhh… Don't tell anybody that the center Strands access is now Open.

The Mid-Strands Gate is now open without restriction. A sharpie sign is on the gate. So the public is NOT restricted by the recent council vote for one hour prior to sun up and one hour after sun set locked gates. Stay tuned. Fines are the elephant in the room.

Dana Point seems to be playing with fire. Following a loss in court over the installation of gates and restricting hours on the paths that cut through the Strand at Headlands, a luxury residential development, on the way to the beach, the City Council voted last week to keep the gates up, albeit wit…

Arguments that not limiting public coastal access at certain points along Strands Beach in Dana Point would result in “teenage drinking, teenage smoking, s*x parties, s*x, drugs and rock and roll” are unfounded, according to a San Diego Superior Court judge’s ruling last week.
