St. Pete Beach cracks down on beachfront ‘no trespassing’ signs

St. Pete Beach officials are restricting where beachfront property owners can place “no trespassing” signs after approving an emergency ordinance aimed at protecting public beach access and improving safety.

The ordinance, passed April 28 in a 4-1 vote, prohibits signs, posts and poles within 50 feet of the mean high-water line (MHWL). City leaders said the measure follows mounting complaints over signage placed in wet sand that appeared to blur the line between public and private property.

It began when St. Pete Clay Company, and then the Morean Center for Clay, moved into the old city train station. Mark Aeling arrived from St. Louis and found a place for his steel-sculpture studio. Noted glass artist Duncan McClellan turned a tomato-packing plant into a gallery, studio and hot box.
