00:00In my property, get moving now. Now you're in my property line. Move it.

00:09A battle over the sand is underway in Laguna Beach. A homeowner caught on camera telling

00:14beachgoers to get off her property. But the question tonight, is the beach public or private

00:20property?

00:21Mary Beth McDade is live in Laguna Beach with more on this disturbing dispute. MB.

00:28Yes, and Mike and Cher, let me tell you, these beachgoers were very upset by the way this

00:32woman treated them. And they'd say they spoke to some of her neighbors who told them that

00:37she does it all the time to beachgoers.

00:40It's not harassment on the beach, it's harassment in my home property. Get out of here.

00:47A Laguna Beach resident is captured on video screaming at a bunch of beachgoers who were

00:52on vacation from Oklahoma.

00:54Yeah, that's what happens when you're angry for no reason.

00:56Yeah, I'm angry. This is not an Instagram moment, please. You're in my property, get

01:02moving now. Now you're in my property line.

01:06We're told the incident occurred a week ago while a group of friends and family were visiting

01:11Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach.

01:13We were by the water. Our kids were building sun castles and we were kind of, the sun was

01:18already kind of setting. So we had decided to leave.

01:21Rosie Garcia tells us as they were packing up their stuff, the resident first confronted

01:26them and told them they weren't allowed to have a tent.

01:30So we were kind of like, that doesn't make sense because there's nothing wrong with having

01:34a sun covering at the beach as long as it's under six feet tall and six feet wide.

01:41Garcia says they continued to pack up their stuff to leave when the resident approached

01:46them again and began yelling to get off her property.

01:50Move it!

01:51We were six feet away from her property and the tide was really high, which is the only

01:56reason we were actually closer to the homes.

01:59Garcia says the woman started roping off an even bigger section of the beach beyond her

02:03roped fence line.

02:05We're trying to get our things and as she's coming closer, that's when she threw the rope

02:11and said that she was going to build a fence.

02:14Garcia's group found the whole thing very upsetting and Garcia contacted the Coastal

02:19Commission, who Garcia says told her they would investigate.

02:23Based off of the Coastal Commission, we weren't on her property and yeah, we were just, we

02:29were shocked.

02:30I couldn't believe it was happening.

02:31The city of Laguna Beach tells us they are aware of the incident and two park rangers

02:36paid the resident a visit Wednesday to inform her that such behavior involving property

02:42boundaries is unacceptable.

02:45That additional rope line has since been removed.

02:51And we did try to talk to this resident to get her a side of this story, but no one answered

02:56the door.

02:57Now, as for the being public or not, well, the Coastal Commission says that all beaches

03:03are public up to the mean high tide line.

03:07That's going to do it for me here in Laguna Beach.

03:08Mary Beth McDade, we'll send it back to you in the studio.

03:12Mary Beth, thank you.
