Laguna Beach woman in viral video ordered by Coastal Commission to stop blocking beach

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- A Laguna Beach homeowner involved in a heated confrontation that has since gone viral has received a letter from the California Coastal Commission, saying she needs to stop blocking access to a public stretch of the sand.

The incident happened last month on Victoria Beach near the trail stairs.

In the footage, the woman is seen yelling at a family and using a spool of rope to section off her property.

Last month, the homeowner told Eyewitness News that she asked the group to leave once the beach closed. She claimed she was being antagonized before being recorded. The family had claimed they were never on her property.
