Here is what I saw too SP,
Solana Beach, California, the small seaside town in San Diego County, will ban smoking on its 1.4 miles of beach starting Nov. 20. The ban was prompted by high school students, who first asked the city to declare September a nonsmoking month on the beaches and in parks, then pushed for a permanent ban. It was unanimously supported by the five-member City Council. First-time offenders can face a $100 fine.
Sucks! I thought the beach (distance of sandy area from high tide to low tide) was considered imminent domain even from land owners?
