For nearly a century, the Deeney family owned and ran Martin’s Beach, inviting people to pay a toll to go down to the sandy shoreline. The beach was a destination for picnicking, smelt fishing and surfing, and over the years “tens of thousands” of people visited the spot, said Eric Buescher, an attorney representing the Surfrider Foundation. That tradition ended after Khosla acquired the property for $37 million and gradually limited access before closing it entirely, he said. A judgment for Surfrider would “vindicate” the public’s right to access the beach, he said. “This case is about compliance with the Coastal Act,” he said. “This is not a statute that allows people to do what they wish and then ask for forgiveness or plead ignorance.”
