Letter: Public property — access denied in Little Compton

Posted

The biggest problem in getting access to our seashore is the inability to even get to the seashore. Obviously, you have to get to a beach before you can even find the shoreline.

In our area, there are few accesses to the beach. You've seen the signs: "No Trespassing," "No Entry," "No Exit," "Members Only," "Guard on Duty," "Private Property," "No parking on either side of road," "Cars will be towed at your expense" — in other words, go home!

The only access to a beach here is to the rock-bound South Shore Beach. Good luck trying to walk that shoreline.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
