Specifically, let’s all go to Martin’s Beach in northern California  On Wednesday, a San Mateo Superior Court Judge restored public access to Martin’s Beach, a crescent-shaped inlet 5 miles south of Half Moon Bay.  Judge Barbara Mallach ruled against venture capitalist Vinod Khosla who was sued by the nonprofit Surfrider Foundation last year after he blocked the public from accessing the beach by padlocking a gate, security guards, and removing signage directing the public to the beach.  Mallach ruled that Khosla had wrongly denied public access to the beach, violating the California Coastal Act.
