Drawing Their Line in the Sand
The beach is one of the earth’s most mesmerizing and extraordinary gifts. While some beaches are privately owned and shielded from public use, others require a fee to enjoy or are just free to access. For those who own beach or lakefront properties, watching locals or tourists flooding your view of the lake or ocean is imaginably undesirable. On the other hand, locals and tourists want to gain entry to some of the best coastal fishing, surfing, or sunbathing spots. These two points of view is what fueled a 2018 lawsuit and eventual decision by the Indiana Supreme Court, granting public entry to Lake Michigan’s shoreline.
