The California Coastal Commission has fined the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Half Moon Bay $1.6 million for blocking access to public beaches near the hotel. The commission found the hotel blocked access by failing to post signs alerting people that the beaches are open to everyone, not just guests, and by parking the cars of guests and golfers in spaces it is required to keep open for people who aren't customers.
