To the Editor:

After enjoying the beach in Holgate for the entire season for more than 20 years, we are no longer able to do so. Our access to the beach is at Beck Avenue. We always had a significant but manageable dune to climb, but now we have an even higher second one and then a long trek to water’s edge.

For families with lots of gear and especially seniors and handicapped, it presents a real challenge to get to the surf.
