Without having read all of the replies Rob. All I can say is that, i visited Champagne Pond last Aug.. And of the six months I've spent on the island, with so little areas where the public can safely swim and frolic, especially in the Puna district.. I was dismayed that the public is forced to endeavor rough, limited, and poorly dozed access roads. And then after traveling these, chopping up tiers and other damages from the terrain withstanding, There's a whole bay there!!
However, access to the bay is denied because of the privet ownership and gated community's effort to secure the ocean areas and beach, or water front locations.. Once you are there, threw the poor road,, Very poor road, the public can not enter at least 80 percent of the available areas... Not to leave out the awful ‘stink eye’ looks owners within it give people who dare to touch areas within the community’s streets and or sideways.
All you can do is return the ‘look’ with another expressing: “what? It aint your right of possession or denial, thank you very much.”
I have no compassion supporting blockage of the public currently and in the future. In fact, support the argument that, the rights of the states citizens of free access to all ocean areas and beaches, are currently violated by this community..
It's pretty much a given; the residences ought to have considered when buying property within it.. "enjoy it now while you can, and don't be disappointed when those gates are removed."
Champagne pond is a hidden secret where a shallow bay exists, and far more opportunity for the public than anywhere within Puna is available, for plenty frolic, swim and play, and shallow fishing. I could not believe my eyes once I arrived there that so much of it is restricted..
Nothing personal Rob, or anybody that lives there.. I know if I had chosen this area, I’d be a easy bag for the Publics argument of right to enter.. Would have expected it as I said..
And the trash or litter left by local visitors is more likly a sign of their dismay, of being denied full access....
