Visitor Reviews of Whitefish Bay

Doppler Dave from UNITED STATES writes:

Well.... You folks say that there is a surf break at this site so... I believe ya but.... there is absolutely no public access to this spot, for miles. Shoreline is completely locked in with private land. Unless you have a speedboat and are willing to speed away from Port Washington Harbor to Whitefish Bay, there will never be any surfing here. Seems kinda silly to even have it listed to me.

[Editor replies: Private property is an issue at many breaks, so I'm curious why simply asking a landowner for access isn't an option here.]
