The following information is about beach-access originating from Bradley Circle:
<<<The Henry Driessen PublicBeach-Access Right-of-Way<<<– a “PUBLIC” Pedestrian access-gate leading to/from Driessen Beach Park (a legally dedicated public access-easement) was blocked by the Town of Hilton Head. This vital connection, from Bradley Circle to Driessen Beach Park, provided direct beach-access for over !!!+32!!! years!!!
This beach park access was the ONLY way to access the park’s open-space from Bradley Circle; and it provided the ONLY legal means of direct ‘beach-access’for the majority of properties on Bradley Circle that have no private beach-access.
As the Town agreed in 2003, The Access Easement “is essentially necessary for the use and enjoyment of the Beach Park”.
>>>The Josephine Driessen Private Beach-Access Right-of-Way>>> – is a “PRIVATE” Beach-Access Walkway/Bridge (see original reference PLAT) adjacent to ‘Sweet Grass Manor’ – that leads from ‘Bradley Circle’ to the beach and Atlantic Ocean.
This private walkway is not owned by the community, and only a few neighborhood properties have a recorded ‘easement’ providing for it’s use(listed below). To date, 11 properties have been identified with an easement for ingress and egress over and across this private beach-access right-of-way.
However, until the public park’s pedestrian access-gate is restored, this private beach-access is the only way for residents and guests on Bradley Circle to get to the beach.
At this time, only eleven (11) properties (or @30% of the total that do not otherwise have private beach-access); have been identified that have a non-exclusive easement to use the “Josephine Driessen Beach-Access Right-of-Way”; (as these easement rights “run with the land” – these properties have obtained easement rights from the original parcels that these properties were divided from):
