Kapoho Beach Road may be public, official says

You have to hand it to her: It was good detective work. Kapoho is a beautiful place and they have a nice community. Champagne Pond is a great resource, but it cannot support visitors who disrespect it. Both the community itself and disrespectful visitors affect the quality of the resource. If there were a government, we would have a solution. The solution is not to simply open the place up to the hordes. The current arrangement actually works pretty well. The Kapoho community has always let me in (thank you) and I have been appreciative of that.

I think posting a guard at the entrance on the weekends is likely to have given offense to the larger community. Thus the backlash.

The whole situation needs a mediator.
