Yea right. Somebody is going to pay 14million dollars and then leave open to the public and also pay to maintain it and keep it clean. 😂. Keep hoping….🤣
Yep. And some drunk that manages to trip and bust his butt would have plenty of lawyers lined up to take over ownership of what used to be 'your' island. I have a riverside farm with two islands. I HAVE to keep "No Trespassing" signs on both of them and chase off trespassers. Otherwise, my lawyer tells me that I could be financially liable for anyone who has a 'mishap' there. I must be able to show in court that I've taken efforts to exclude the public. Kind of like when you use a company's trade name. If they don't continually fight for their ownership of it they might lose it to others trying to use their trade name.
Anybody has any complaints? Go buy the island and let everyone use it free of charge! And when some drunken idiot hurts himself your insurance company will pay him enough that they can buy the island from you! It’s private property and they can sell it or do whatever they want with it. I’m sure if the owners charged $20 admission to cover the cost of services and insurance nobody would go to it.
Purchased in 2017 for $64,000. Looking for a Whimsical buyer with more money than common sense. So with all the hassle and liability what makes these people think it's worth 14 million dollars?
@@d.williamparris2516 the spoil islands should not be tampered with.

I grew up here and was a sailing instructor in clearwater beach with 10s of thousands of hours spent on our coast in small boats.

@@randall1959 there are lots of billionaires who wouldn’t need to borrow 14 million It’s also for sale not sold and it’s not like the waters going up 5 feet in the next 50 years
That’s a heck of a price tag. Just wait until another major hurricane comes through here….they’ll be sorry they bought it and over paid for it too. They can have it.
If I spend 14 million for an island, I sure as hell wouldn't leave it open for public use. That's putting all the liability on me with no financial gain and a huge tax burden to top it off.
Being a local all my life of 70 years ,the first time I stepped on Beercan was 1964 and always believed that we tax payers paid for the island. Being a boater since the 60s we were the ones who would always clean up the island from others debry and take it back to the mainland ,we were the ones who kept it clean. But to find out the island was sold for $65,000 to 2 brothers was a huge shock to us boaters because, if we would of known the island could be bought we local boaters would have bought it and kept it a sanctuary open for all future generations to enjoy what we have had for decades . But the buyers after the island flooded after the last big storm thought they would try and sell it for $14 million but no buyers. You know as a lifelong boater we were taught you don't drink and drive, that's crazy, but these brothers tried putting a bar on a island that the only way there is on a boat . Anyway yes I'm pissed off at our local government for not letting us boaters the ones who actually took care of the island a chance to buy it, but that never happened.
No way will it remain open to the public. Some billionaire will buy it and build a compound. If its really that popular with locals the local government or state needs to buy it.
i wouldn't pay 14 million to have an open park for everyone. also i keep hearing how the ocean is going to rise. well if that is true it will be under water.
Yeah, but notice Obama, Gore and others that keep claiming the oceans are rising all have bought beachfront properties, wonder why that is, if those homes will be gone in a few years. Reminds me of a video showing park workers removing signs from glacier viewing areas in 2022 that said the glacier would be gone be by 2020 or something like that. I still think the plaques should have stayed, but those that made the claims wouldn’t want their BS revealed.
Common Floridians , do you really call this place a paradise island??? 🤣 for me a paradise island needs to have at least clear turquoise waters like the Bahamas. The waters in this island look more like a lake than a beach. 🤷🏼♂️
Maybe getting drunk,on alcohol isn't as cool as the money spent on promoting it? Or, insurance for ppl all drunk,and, acting like Jan 6th? Smart ppl, know.

CHUM
I would think the new owners keeping it open to the public would really be based on insurance coverage ability and liability.
My first thought was the building permit.
Exactly - risk management always creeps in.
Sell it to the county as a bird sanctuary or nature preserve.
DON'T SELL IT TO A FOREIGNER!
So you’re a communist?
Few chinese investors already interested in buying it
Massively expensive to have a restaurant on an island considering the logistics

It's not greed if you can find some idiot to pay you that.
