It's a nice looking beach, but the overwhelming algae, the smell that goes with it, and rude neighbours, made it an unpleasant experience. One neighbour felt it her duty to come out of her house, four doors in, and misinform us as to their and our rights.
If the neighbours are looking to inform the beach going public, your best bet would be to work with the city and post informational signs, including the fact that some of these are water lots that pre-date legislature allowing a right of way.

Overall a very nice local beach that tourists don't know enough about to...

There was a bit of an unpleasant odor at the one end of the beach so we just moved further up wind and it was fine. Some sharp spots under foot. We were there on a super windy day and the waves were...
