I was down there on Sunday as well. Didn't see this post until after, but thanks for the update still. Had a run-in with a grumpy boater at the dock at yelling that I should be using the hand-launch instead for kayaks. After calmly explaining(several times) that the Beach Life event was blocking access to the hand launch, he apologized and said he felt like an ass for giving me such a hard time. We were all good after that. Either way I'll probably be avoiding the area until after the festival. Just don't feel like dealing with the BS.
Also, the irony of this whole situation is not lost on me... "Beach Life Festival! Celebrating the beach lifestyle!
**BEACH ACCESS CLOSED!!!
