When I first arrived back in Florida I visited New Smyrna Beach and was thinking through a photographic project, when I happened upon private beach access gates and walkways along Atlantic Ave. Hurricane Matthew had just passed by, leaving a few of them rough looking, which was perfect. I wanted to capture the character of the different gates and pathways. So here they are, the access gates and pathways of Atlantic Ave, New Smyrna Beach, FL.

how very interesting.. when I think about it.. of course, but..not something that had crossed my mind..
I try to come up with projects that I haven’t seen done before and I hadn’t seen this one so I thought I’d try It.
Interesting individual expressions. (Love that blue sky!) I prefer the laws of California that allow free access to the beach. It seems something so wild should be free for all.
Fortunately there is still plenty of public access, it’s one of the last places in the country where you can still drive on the beach too.
That’s quite different and an interesting group of photos. Thankfully our beaches in Australia are public.
Thanks. Fortunately there is plenty of public access, these gates are just in front of a road with houses right on the beach.
Nice pics!
Thanks!
You were in New Smyrna and didn’t call me?
I’m there all the time!
