#5yrsago App shows you the way to the illegally hidden public beaches of Malibu

Back in May, Mark wrote about a Kickstarter project to fund a mobile app that will help you locate the hidden entrances to Malibu’s public beaches, which the local rich and famous people have done everything they can to obscure (including putting up illegal fake signs that falsely declare passage to be trespassing).

The Kickstarter was fully funded and the app is out, and the public is finding its way to Malibu’s public beaches, which is great news – unless you’re one of those people who’s spent decades treating a public beach as your own private patch. Local residents are pissed:

Good.

Some of them even hire private security guards who tell beachgoers that they’re on private property and could be prosecuted. Those security guards have called the local sheriff’s department (and let’s not forget that’s an elected position). They also have told beachgoers that they’re trespassing. But all California beaches are public up to the high tide line, as long as you can find the public access points. These apps help maintain equitable access, as well as a law passed in 2014, stating that perpetrators of access violation can be fined $11,250 per day lmfao

Eat the rich. Go to the beach.
