For nearly a century, people flocked to Martin's Beach, a picturesque stretch of sand just south of Half Moon Bay in the San Francisco Bay Area, to swim, surf and dig their toes into the sand.
Then in 2008, Silicon Valley billionaire Vinod Khosla, through two limited liability companies, bought two large pieces of land next to the popular beach, which happened to contain the only viable public path to the shore. For more than a decade, Khosla has fought numerous legal battles to keep the public off the beach -- and has shown no signs of giving in.
"The lawsuit alleges that Khosla closed the gate to Martin's Beach and has largely blocked public access to it, arguing that unless ordered otherwise by a court, he will"continue to deny, impair and obstruct the public's right to use" the beach.Dori Yob Kilmer, an attorney for Khosla, said in a statement to CNN that the property is private and the state's claims"have been extensively litigated and repeatedly rejected by the courts" in a previous lawsuit.
