Beach Accessibility

The sun was shining bright as we watched as the temperature start nearing the double digits, we decide the most fitting place to head to was to the coast! Already drooling from the thought of laying out, jumping into some refreshing cold waves, and climbing around funny shaped rocks in all different sizes, we hop in our cars and start our trek down to Table Rock Beach, but first…Traffic, traffic, and more traffic!

Skip forward two hours later, we take our first foot out of our parked car after only zooming in circles for say, maybe 10 times looking for a parking spot that we could wedge our little coupe into. With no sandy beach in site yet, we whizzed through some neighborhood looking driveways with plenty of ‘private property’ signs along the way, where we eventually came across a little archway that read Table Rock Beach and served as the beach access entrance. But that wasn’t the end of the trek, you also have to make it down the skinniest and longest stairway down to finally touch your toes into the sand. With the labyrinth like maneuvers we took to get to here, It seemed as though everyone that was able to find this place had known of a little secret gem, and perhaps wanted to keep it as their secret spot from others.

Although coming out to the beach was a journey to say the least, it was a wonderful little paradise once you were able to step onto the actual sand. There was that turqoise clear water and waves breaking onto rocky cliffs and sand that stretched back into a little cave. There were people playing in the water, kids poking at little sea creatures hiding in cracks of rocks, and people exploring the rocky terrain that created a playground to explore more secret little nooks and after that, you can just jump off of the cliffs into the water. As I was sitting on top of a slightly high ledge, I paused to take in the moment fully, it was really refreshing to take in the beautiful landscape that nature was capable of creating. I realized that this type of place shouldn’t be so hidden from others and that more people should be able to experience this, then maybe more people would care about preserving more areas like this and think about our societies actions and impacts onto our planets resources a little more.

As you scan the beautiful landscape of the coast, to the left, I also noticed the construction of buildings and houses straight on the edges of these eroding and sandy cliffs, along with their skinny rusted stairways that zigzag straight up to their property, of course with the “you are approaching private property” signs. None the less from the brief eyesore of construction and houses barely holding onto its underlying foundation, the rest that the beach had in store for us was pure bliss and enjoyment for the rest of the evening.
