      I lived in Laguna Beach for 20 years and this was always a issue also. But coming from a past resident (me) let me tell you why. First, of course is our little residential street would fill up by 10AM on a sunny weekend, understandable. What ISN'T understandable was the trash left behind, 24 can boxes of empty beer, dozens of fast food bags...then there is the urination before they drive off or the music and pot smoking before that drive home. We've had a few get sick in the street from to much booze...SO...There is a reason to keep access secret.

    We started going to Malibu around 1960 and they were already trying to keep people off the beach.

This goes beyond anything the city is allowed to do under state law!

    I'll tell you what happened: one or more of the property owners next to the beach called their good ol' boys buddies with connections in Public Works to help them out.

I think it works out knowing the residents of Malibu can afford to rebuild their own homes. For a change, the tax money would be applied to better causes.

    they have been doing this for decades all across Malibu, Laguna beach, and in San diego. They hide the signs or remove them all together, or put up illegal gates, or you get harassed by homeowners along the access road if you park along the road, who will threaten to call a tow company or the police if you walk across their beach for trespassing. I've even had residents attempt to educate me on where their property line is on the beach itself, because I was swimming and the current pushed me into a resident's "so called private beaches". They literally will come out of their property to confront you, to politely educate you. All BS of course, but as a high school kid at the time, not knowing any better, you tend to believe the adults.

      Actually, the story is a lot more complicated than that. I have family that lives in the area and I have a friend there (a marital lawyer, natch) and it's because most of the people that use it that aren't from the neighborhood or part of the HOA (or associated with it) leave a wreck behind. It's been going on since 2007, apparently, and whenever people come down from the northern states to these "hidden alcoves" it's been a fight and a half to get them to behave, because very few of them pick up after themselves. The local council likes tourists, because it drives up the margins, but at the same time they leave it to the people who live nearby to clean up after them. It was so bad that one point it was normal to have beer bottle cuts because some FSU (or UM) kids would have these frat sex parties in these hidden alcoves and leave chaos in their wake. The neighborhood has taken it into their own hands and has basically told people to fuck off, because here's the thing: if you KNOW where the beach is, you don't NEED a sign to tell you where it is, which, more often than not, means that you're responsible enough to be a frequent visitor or live near enough in proximity to be able to enjoy it.
      At the same time it IS unlawful for them to take down the signs, but if anything, there should be more emphasis placed on tourists being responsible when they visit. My friend says that nowadays kids are a lot more well behaved and are actually picking up after themselves, but the HOAs and the neighborhood are operating on a "cut me twice" basis and it's really hard to get them to change ways. In fact, at one point, they did try to put up "clean up after yourself" signs ... but the council removed THOSE because they weren't "official" signs and the council didn't want to put it up themselves. It's just a lot of distrust on a lot of people's parts, and frankly, it's kinda warranted, I guess.

      Most cities have a sign code and procedures for erecting signs. And usually a permit is required in advance. Any sign installed without a permit is considered non-conforming, eg elon musk's annoying and illegal giant X and any post sign installed on public or private property. These are commonly known as bootleg signs.

It was ultimately won, but during proceedings there were 2 ton concrete blocks placed to block the entrance. And it was the third attempt to block access over the course of a ten year period. One time they went as far to paint marker paint on 30 ton boulders in the river, then smeared the top of the dam with grease mixed with broken glass. A small dam that was used by children to play on during the hot summer.

      It’s just the “official” reason they had to give in order to hide the fact that they are intentionally hiding the paths to the beach

    It's funny how some act as though they are the only ones allowed to inhabit public spaces...

    I could see this happening in Laguna Beach too, it looks like private property but it is the legal easement for the public to access the beach.

    Sue the city for vandalism. They have no right to take those signs down.

      That's exactly why you're not wanted. And there is nowhere to spend your money. All you have is people's properties lol and you best make sure that you don't trespass on any of their property

    A good follow up to this would be a feature on the current and past issues with access at Lunada Bay in PV.

    They are pretty beaches. Wonder how long they’ll stay that way once the public finds the public beaches!

    The state should create a phone application of website that shows ALL of the public beaches in Malibu as well as the legal routes to access them and the hours of operation/rules. They can advertise the site/app over multiple government websites such as the DMV. That will get the attention of a lot of people and make these beaches so popular that the local residents will regret being so selfish as well as set a precedent for other cities that have or have been doing the same.

    Making beaches accessible to the public is also a problem here in my country. Most of the beaches are inaccessible because there are private properties being built beside them. Some of those properties wants you to pay them just to enter and gain access to the beach in front of them. There should be a law that all beaches in every country should be freely accessible to the public. And that every properties and houses being built near them should provide a public passageway in between other properties so people can easily pass right through them to the beach without paying or travelling far just to find a beach access area. The problems is also the same for our other tourist spots, private properties our build in areas considered best viewing areas so that people would have to pay for that perfect selfies.

    It’s surprising that no one says what’s really going on and only go around the problem.

    In Canada and the UK, you can not own bodies of water or the shoreline next to them. If you own all the property around the body of water you must provide a public access point every so and so feet for people to be able use.
