BigFish
Here is the thing. I live and work on the Lower Cape and drive on the beach quite reguarly during the whole season. There are 3000 season passes available. Of these 3000 over half are bought by folks who come out for 1 week or less of vacation a year!...They have a weekly sticker available and I believe if you don't use your season pass a certain amount then you shouldn't be able to get one the following year. Get the weekly sticker instead. I have no beef with out of staters, some of my best friends are from upstate NY and are the finest people you would ever meet.
But something has to give. The present system is NOT working and it will keep the die hard guys who love to fish throughout the season off the beach in place for someone with a brand new SUV with a grill and a boom box. I have seen it first hand over the last 5 years.
Take my statement with a grain of salt. If you had hordes of people invading your backyard enjoying what you gave up to move here for then you might see my side of the story....
In fact, the Seashore is holding meetings on how to deal with the problem and I do believe a new, possibly radically different system will be in place next season. What that is I have no idea and it may not benefit cape residents so you can smile on that one...
See you on the beach
