Abstract:

North Carolinian Harrell Paden began visiting secluded Holden Beach near Wilmington when he was four-years-old in 1928. When he returned in 1985 after an absence of several years, he was shocked to find that there was no longer a public access route to the beach. Private housing communities have developed and cut off public access to several local beaches, while still using public funds and utilities.
