Liquid Dreams

History was made this past Saturday May 22nd when the York beach Residents voted Yes on #23. By voting yes on #23 Longsands is a better beach for surfers and swimmers alike. Growing up in York since the 70s and owning Liquid Dreams for 14 years the most asked question has been “why is the surf zone so small? “. Other surf zone proposal’s have come and gone and there was always an issue or a hick up. This New Surf Zone is Modeled after many beaches up and down the east coast and it WORKS..The Anastas Family, Liquid Dreams Surf Shop and the Surf Community would like to Thank all of the people that voted yes on #23 and yes for York Beach. I would also like to thank the Local Surfers, Mike Sullivan and the other town officials for all their help and hard work over the years on making Long sands a more user friendly beach for all. I will be sending out info on the up coming fundraiser that we will be having to raise money for the Surf Zone Ropes and Bouys..
Sincerly, Mark Anastas

Residents/surfers of York Maine, This Saturday May 22nd is a BIG day for the Surf Community and Beach goers of York beach. After years of working with town officials and other residents/surfers of York Beach a New Ordinance has been drafted that makes a lot of sense for both Beach goers and Surfers. By voting YES on #23 you are opening the beach to mixed uses with a large swimming area only and two areas for mixed use(surfing and swimming). Which is the current way 99.9% of all beaches in the US are run.. As York Beach local and surf advocate John Clancy says “Its the biggest no brainer in the history of York beach” to pass this new Ordinance. The Anastas Family and Liquid Dreams surf shop urges you to vote YES on #23 and YES for York Beach.. This Ordinance reads as follows

This amendment creates a safe swim
zone on Long Sands Beach that extends from the staircase
at Beacon Street northeasterly to the staircase at the Long
Sands General Store and two mixed use zones on either
side of the safe swim zone extending from the staircase at

the Long Sands General Store to the northerly end of the
beach and from the staircase at Beacon Street to the Sun-N-
Surf Restaurant. The mixed use zone extends the area
allowed for surfing but mandates that surfers must wear a
surf leash to stay in control of their board and surfers must
remain at least 35ft away from any swimmers. This
amendment is generally consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. It is expected to have no fiscal impact on Town
Administration.
Board of Selectmen recommends approval (5-0)

So on Sat May 22nd please vote Yes on #23 and help make Long Sands a better and more user friendly beach..

Thanks Mark Anastas
