Hundreds pack meeting on beach access in Florida Panhandle
The issue of 'customary use' becomes part of the political dialogue in the 2018 election.
SANTA ROSA BEACH — Hundreds of people crowded into a high school auditorium Saturday for an emotional meeting in the ongoing political struggle over public access to the Panhandle's pristine beaches.
The crowd of 800-plus at South Walton High School and the intensity of views were the latest signs of how strongly people feel about this quality-of-life issue after Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill that makes it harder for cities and counties to pass local laws protecting public beach access.
The law (HB 631), which attracted little public attention in the 2018 session of the Legislature, is seen as a direct response to Walton County's adoption last year of a beach access law that has been challenged unsuccessfully by private property owners.
"I believe the notion of a 'private beach' is an oxymoron," said Dave Rauschkolb, a Seaside restaurant owner and a leader in the battle to preserve public access to beaches, known as customary use.
Josephine Brown, 92, of Seagrove Beach, wearing a sticker that said "CU at the beach," said her family has been enjoying the beaches of South Walton for six generations with no problems until now.
"We had bonfires. We camped out," Brown testified. "Those days are gone forever, but still, we would like to maintain a little bit of that personal closeness that we always had with the beach."
Lynn Fitzgerald, who has owned a home on Miramar Beach since 1994, said her property deed, like many, extended to the mean high tide water line but that "we never had a problem." Making things worse, she told officials, is the proliferation of commercial vendors renting out beach chairs and umbrellas to sunbathers.
Asked about the governor, she said: "This is going to hurt him. It will also cause tourists to leave Destin and go to Orange Beach (Alabama)."
Scott, who in July signed an executive order that sought to blunt the new law's enforcement, may hear from residents Sunday when he makes a campaign appearance at The Donut Hole in Santa Rosa Beach.
Tom Ballantine, owner of a condominium complex at Seagrove, said: "I'm a Christian. God made the beach and it's open to all of God's people." He got a thunderous round of applause.
Afterward, Ballantine said he did not think the controversy would have any effect on Scott's senatorial ambitions. "I really like Rick Scott," he said.
Avalon Beach homeowner John Vundschow took a different view. He said a proposed new county customary use ordinance is an illegal taking of private property without just compensation, in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
More than 5,000 people have joined a Facebook group, Walton County Ideas for Visioning and Quality of Life, where the beach access issue is by far the major topic of conversation.
More than 7,000 residents have signed affidavits in support of a new county beach access law in an effort organized by a new non-profit group, Florida Beaches for All. The Walton County attorney, Sidney Noyes, said she was overwhelmed by the response.
Saturday's meeting was to have been the first legal step by a Florida local government to comply with the new law.
But the county discovered that 13 affected property owners did not receive legal notices of the meeting as required by law, which could put the county in legal jeopardy if it took any formal action. So a vote was postponed until November and county officials took public comment for nearly three hours instead.
Walton County is solidly Republican, but in interviews, people at Saturday's meeting singled out Scott for criticism and said he should not have signed the bill into law. In casual conversations, people dressed in tropical shirts and flip-flops toss around "HB 631" like an epithet.
Mike Hepner, a Miramar Beach X-ray technician who wore a "UNF Ospreys" T-shirt (his daughter is a student there) and is a registered independent voter, said he's less likely to vote for Scott because of his decision to sign HB 631.
"Definitely," Hepner said. "I believe the beaches were put here by God for our use and we want to keep it that way. I will vote for people who are for keeping customary use."

So other than the Alfords looks like dead deal for now it will be interesting to see how owners play this out and how it affects the future of Walco,
By DOTTY NIST
The day after a July 5 vote of approval by the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), Clay Adkinson, acting county attorney, presented Walton County Circuit Court Judge David Green with a letter stating a “binding commitment” on behalf of the county.
This was to file court motions aimed at “disposing of all matters” related to parcels on which the county seeks a determination of recreational customary use—and at dismissing any parcels not included in those motions, with the exception of one property for which a counterclaim is pending. The letter pledged that those motions would be filed with the court within 45 days.
Green is presiding judge in Walton County’s customary use of the beach case, which has been ongoing since December 2018.
Pledged by the county by means of the letter was that, with final judgments on the motions, the case would be concluded in connection with the dismissed parcels and those included in the motions “without a trial being sought by the county.”
“This commitment implicitly acknowledges,” Adkinson wrote, “that this Court’s judicial labor shall be completed without need for a trial regardless of whether the Summary Final Judgments are in favor of or against the county, while also acknowledging the County is preserving any appellate rights it has to any rulings entered by the Court prior to and inclusive of the Summary Final Judgments.”
The letter qualified that any such appeal “would be on matters of law and application of law only,” and that no “remand” or return of the case to the court for a trial would be sought.

BCC approves filings to resolve customary use case, asking WCSO to enforce settlement agreement
By DOTTY NISTContinuing to strive to avoid going to trial with the ongoing customary recreational use of the beach court case, on July 5 the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved two motions recommended by legal counsel.
This was at a July 5 special meeting at the South Walton Annex.
Filed by the county in 2018, the case had originally included all privately-owned parcels along the Walton County beachfront—with owners of hundreds of those parcels having intervened in the case in opposition to the county effort to affirm a right by the public to customary recreational use of the beach.
With the recent execution of a settlement agreement and dismissals of parcels from the lawsuit, county legal counsel recently reported the case as being resolved or in the process of being totally resolved except for one parcel.
After returning to public session after a 1 1/2-hour closed executive session on July 5, the officials were presented by Clay Adkinson, acting county attorney, with a recommended motion.
“The unanimous recommendation of your legal team,” he told the commissioners, “is to request to pursue motions for summary judgment and dismissals as appropriate against the remaining parcels and stipulate to the court that upon final judgment, either way, that would resolve the case without trial.”
“So,” Adkinson continued, “I need a motion to pursue final summary judgment in this case on the non-intervening parcels and pro se intervenors and counterclaims.”
Pro se participants in a lawsuit are those who proceed without legal representation or counsel.
The BCC approved the action 3-0 on a motion by District 1 Commissioner Boots McCormick, with District 5 Commissioner Tony Anderson absent due to illness.
At Adkinson’s recommendation, the commissioners also approved a motion to direct staff to reach out to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) to request them to consider “running point on enforcement” of the recent settlement agreement and the beach ambassador program associated with that agreement—and to look at funding those activities by WCSO personnel through the Tourist Development Tax (TDT), though mechanisms available under state law.
The settlement agreement does not reference beach ambassadors but does set requirements to be enforced on privately-owned beach parcels and provides for the county to inform the public of allowable use of the beach areas and conduct in those areas.
Adkinson commented that Walton County does not currently have a beach ambassador program “under the TDC” (Tourist Development Council) and explained that moving the program there “is going to take time and might not be feasible immediately due to the new FT requirements and time committed with the transportation program they’re implementing.”
The Herald/Breeze has inquired with Walton County Public Information about the new FT requirements referenced, but no information has been made available at this time.
The Walton County Beach Ambassador Program had been moved from the tourism department and placed under Walton County Code Compliance in spring 2022 by action of Tony Cornman, then interim county administrator.
While operating under the Walton County Code Compliance Department, the ambassador program is still funded through the TDT, as is the Beach Code Compliance Division of that department.
The second action requested by Adkinson was approved 3-0, as well, on a motion by District 4 Commissioner Donna Johns.

“You need to fix it”: Walton County residents fed up with customary use case, private beaches
Multiple Walton County residents spoke to commissioners at Tuesday's meeting, demanding something be done in the customary use case.
“You need to fix it”: Walton County residents fed up with customary use case, private beaches
Multiple Walton County residents spoke out against private beaches, and demanded county commissioners make change at the Walton County commission meeting Tuesday.
“Just help us out,” one resident said at the stand. “What we are asking, what I’m asking, is that you’re going to make all efforts legally that you have at your disposal to intervene to protect the public’s right to use the beach.”
Residents called for commissioners to intervene in any ongoing “quiet titles”, which are used to determine whose land is whose in dispute. Many private beachfront owners are said to have used quiet titles to claim portions of the beach.
“The issue I have with quiet titles is similar to what everyone else is talking about. It’s that the county, up until recently- I was told that the county wasn’t named in the suit, and could not intervene. Well, that’s not the case. You can intervene,” the resident said.
Others went up to the stand to talk about what they experienced when they go to the beach.
“I can’t even walk on the beach anymore,” another resident said. “I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s not giving quiet title to all these people and stealing our beaches. It’s sad, it’s just sad to see what you have allowed to happen to our county. It’s sad.”
“I mean, I’m a single voice and I’m so frustrated by watching guards kick people off the beach,” another resident told commissioners. “They’re paying a lot of money to come down here to do that. And we’re allowing them to be kicked off the beach by security guards on property that they don’t own? Shame on you guys. You need to fix it.”
Commissioners responded, still restricted in what they can say due to ongoing litigations in the customary use case, saying that they are continuing to fight for public beaches.
“If somebody goes and gets a quiet title, they don’t even have to notify the county they’re getting a quiet title,” District Five Commissioner Tony Anderson said, addressing the crowd. “It’s unfair to the public, it’s unfair to the citizens of Walton County, it’s unfair to our tourists. But what has been done in the past, I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know if it can be undone. But there are things going on behind the scenes to get as much beach back as we possibly can. "
County representatives said they are in the works of creating unified signs and other methods of clearly outlining where the private beaches are, and what restrictions there are at different locations on the beach.

Welcome to the Transitory Zones of South Walton. Here are a few of the aspects of the Settlement: The general public may use the portion of the beach, the Transitory Zone, in front of private property, up to 20' from the wet sand. They can use the transitory zone for walking or jogging. They can use the transitory zone for sitting if they are sitting at a ratio of 5' apart. They can sit in chairs but they can not have umbrellas nor tents. They can use the transitory zone only during full daylight hours, not during sunrise nor sunset. They can be expelled from the transitory zone, at any time by the owners if their behavior is deemed inappropriate.

Changes are coming to Walton County beaches. A settlement has been reached between the county and private beach owners regarding customary use.
The end result is keeping a majority of the beach private.
“We’ve settled some. We are still under litigation with a few and other than that we really don’t have any comment,” said Danny Glidewell, Walton County Board chairman.
Walton County has 26 miles of beachfront property and only 8 miles of that is owned by the county or the state for the general public. Now in the settlement posted below, a transitory lane the public can use on private property.
The transitory zone is 20 feet from the wet sand towards the homes. The zone can be used for walking, jogging or running, swimming and surfing, or sunbathing, as long as you don’t use umbrellas or tents.
Private property owners have permission to kick people out of the transitory zone if there is more than one person every 5 feet of beach, as well as if they are disturbing any beachgoers at their discretion.
Many residents at the July 27 meeting spoke out on the county reaching a settlement.
“It’s sad, it’s just sad to see what you have allowed to happen to our county,” said Shari Clark, Seagrove resident.
“Did we give up too soon? Have we arrived at this settlement without doing everything we possibly can?” asked Jenny Dargavell, Walton County resident.
Chairman Glidewell said the public will see updates regarding the new customary use rules from the tourism development council.
“The TDC is going to be putting out a public information packet soon and they’re the ones who will be coordinating the response,” said Glidewell.

Enforcing Customary Use on Walton County beaches, impact on property rights

www.mypanhandle.com
The more than five-year legal battle over customary use on Walton County beaches is not over yet. A final settlement was reached with most private property owners, others plan to go to trial this December.
“Nobody is going to be happy at the end of the day there are going to be people unhappy in all this,” said Walton County Sheriff Adkinson.
The Sheriff’s Office has 60 to 90 days to come up with policies to match the final settlement of the customary use of Walton County beaches. Adkinson said the response will depend on the property in question.
“Customary use does not apply to all 1,200 parcels in on the beach. So we’re going to end up having to have different policies based on where the property at what rules apply,” said Adkinson.
Of the three dozen or more in the settlement case, a 20-foot transitory zone will allow the public to sunbathe or swim on the beach, but at the owner’s discretion.
Local realtor Rachel Warrell has been following the customary use case on her tik tok and youtube. She says the final result of these court cases could affect everything from property rights to property values.
“If you own a property in Walton County and you don’t have deeded access to the gulf these new rules and restrictions could possibly negatively impact your vacation rental revenue and ultimately your property values,” said Warrell.
Warrell also has a background in political science and says the rights fight stems from a 1974 Florida supreme court ruling.
“The public has an ancient right to enjoy our beaches and restricting that access is violating people’s ancient rights,” said Warrell “Now at the same time, you have these property owners that have the deed either near or close to the water line, and they feel that their private property rights are being violated.”
While properties hash out signing the settlement or going to trial, Sheriff Adkinson said they will host a Facebook Q&A as well as a town hall to talk about policy suggestions with the public.
“I have to caution you this is not about a referendum on whether you like how the board handled it, or public versus private property. That’s irrelevant to my state. I don’t have any say in that. So if you come and you’re upset about there being a settlement, that’s not something the Sheriff’s Office can help you with,” said Adkinson.
Adkinson says more staff will be necessary regardless of the outcome.
“We think there’s some opportunity for the beach ambassador program to be expanded, community service officers that could come at it, not from an enforcement standpoint, but rather from an education and a customer service standpoint. We will have to have some more deputies for, unfortunately, people that force and enforcement action,” said Adkinson.
“Simply put, if you own property near or on the beach, you need to be paying attention to this,” said Warrell. “Our area has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and that is why we have a thriving we are a thriving tourist destination and a lot of property owners in Walton County use their properties as income-generating vacation rentals.”
The tourism development council will be responsible for communicating with the public once the settlement is complete. The TDC did say they are still actively looking for beach property to buy back to become more public access and parking lots.

Walton County has filed motions for summary judgment (MSJ) seeking to affirm a right by the public to customary recreational use of the dry sand area on a total of 192 beachfront parcels.
The motions were filed in Walton County Circuit Court on Aug. 25 as part of Walton County’s ongoing customary use complaint/lawsuit, which was originally brought to court in December 2018. The original lawsuit had applied to 1.194 beachfront parcels, with hundreds of the owners of those parcels having then opted to intervene in the lawsuit in opposition to the county effort.
More recently, there have been settlements and dismissals removing the vast majority of the 1,194 parcels from the lawsuit.
Nine motions for summary judgment were filed on Aug. 25 applying to parcels in nine different areas of the beach. These include: Santa Rosa Beach (27 parcels); Beach Highlands (six parcels); Dune Allen Beach (three parcels); Blue Mountain Beach (34 parcels); Grayton Beach (three parcels); Seagrove Beach (30 parcels); Seacrest (37 parcels); Eastern Lake Beach (19 parcels); and Inlet Beach (34 parcels).
According to the motions for summary judgment, most of the owners of parcels involved in these motions have not intervened in the lawsuit. The remainder, the owners of 22 parcels, did intervene but are “pro se,” not represented by an attorney but representing themselves in the lawsuit.
In the motions, Walton County contends and provides evidence of the public’s use of the parcels involved having been “ancient, reasonable, without interruption, and free from dispute.” These are the essential elements set forth in the landmark 1974 City of Daytona Beach v. Tona-Rama decision by the Florida Supreme Court for the public to acquire a right to the recreational use of privately-owned beach property by means of “custom.”
