Hi,

Ed, My understanding of the Video was that the beach was closed to All People at All Tides - No walking , surfcasting nor swatting Plovers away.

The video also says that there has been an increase in vegetation there which has drawn the Plovers closer to the sea when they used to nest successfully back from the sea on semi open ground before the area changed.

I am a fairly keen and experienced off road driver myself, in little ole NZ there are many fine places to drive on the beach that are no longer accessible to normal people owing to an over zealous PC Brigade.
