(CN) The town of Redington Beach is fighting to overturn a federal judge’s ruling that it claims jeopardizes local governments’ ability to safeguard public use of Sunshine State beaches.
In a Wednesday hearing before a three-judge panel for the 11th Circuit, the Florida town argued the ruling improperly axed an ordinance which protected public use of beaches regardless of private property lines in the sand.
Under the ordinance, beachgoers were allowed to freely walk and sunbathe on beaches across the barrier island town, save for a 15-foot buffer zone near private residences.
