near their property as theirs. You are banned from even walking near the ocean and must pay to even go near the waterfront. Amelia Island is an example. The barriers no longer exist and the storms with so much water just feel free to roll in to the inland areas.

St Simons Island
Amelia Island
Sapelo Island
and so many more

Disgusting!
