Actually, there is. If Shipman is required to provide shoreline access by State or County laws, and the State or County is enforcing shoreline access over that land, the County is required BY LAW to improve and maintain that access as well as assume all liability along that access.
So if you want access and a nice improved path, complain to the appropriate agency and force them to follow the law. Sure it's probably going to take a suit but you will prevail since its written into law. That will force the County to follow the law and improve and maintain all public shoreline access paths. You will get a nice path to the beach (and the associated tax hike to cover the cost since I’m sure a court will order ALL access routes to be improved and maintained) but that's a small price to pay for the people to have nice easy access to the shores.
