New Hampshire only has eighteen miles of coastline - but even in sunny coastal California, arguments over property rights have made finding that perfect beach spot harder than ever before. From California to the New England coast, there is a swelling debate over who the beach belongs to.
Jenny Price is an environmental writer who has been fighting for more open public access to Malibu’s twenty-seven miles of beach. She co-created an app, “Our Malibu Beaches”, with app developer Ben Adair. It aims to show precisely where the public can enjoy parts of the California coast normally restricted to beach-front property owners.
