After legal fight, public path to 'Billionaires' Beach' open
After a decade-long legal fight that pitted public access advocates against a wealthy homeowner who refused to build a path, the California Coastal Commission is officially opening a third accessway along the 1.5-mile Carbon Beach on Tuesday.
"It's an amazing stretch of coast that should be open to everyone," said Charles Lester, the commission's executive director.
Carbon Beach is renowned for its majestic shoreline and high net-worth celebrities and homeowners. Heavy-hitters include Larry Ellison, former chief executive of Oracle Corp.; Hard Rock Café co-founder Peter Morton; and entertainment mogul David Geffen.
Geffen spent years fighting against public access before opening up a path promised in 1983 in exchange for a remodeling permit. At the time, it was one of about 1,300 promised walkways, though many were never opened.
