Freeman Park use to be the only way my handicapped husband could go to the beach. Now, the cost is way too high and access to that beach is out of reach for a lot of residents of New Hanover County. However, the daily rate has not deterred any of the out of towners from coming in on the weekends to litter the beach, get drunk, fight and tear the dunes up, so I guess this area is now mostly for that crowd.
