Given it seems to be a continuation of prior fencing off, the issue seems to have been a long time coming: when the properties got sold, when the other neighbours put up a fence. With the layout of houses and proximity to the fence, I fear by now it's a lost battle

Luckily there is a much larger, nicer beach on the other side, about a 10 minute walk, where dogs are allowed year-round.

But really what are the owners going to do? Police aren't going to care about a trespass. A CCTV with a speaker? Super scary ! They're just banking on people heeding the signs. Very England. Why don't the 650 people get together and meet on the beach?
