Was drivimg south on A1A at about 5:30 and commented to my friend that I had never seen so many people at Spessard Holland. Parked all up and down A1A with overflow parking. Also that there must have been no space left on the sand because they were all hanging out in the parking lot. Looked like a black college reuinion event. When we were coming back heading north at around 6:30 was crazy the way everyone was pulling out of there in a rush. Then Pop pop pop, about ten rounds' we stopped in the travel lane for about a minute and then continued on slowly, and there he was. a guy laying on his back between two cars. After stopping at Jersey Mikes for a to go sub. we continued on over melbourne causway and saw one of the victims on the side of the road receiving CPR by a sherrifs officer. Thug life, so glamorous.

Unfortunately, all we have to look forward to now and whenever it's seasonal for regular "beach-goers". Brevard is seeing so much growth and for me it's sad. I grew up here and now I'm just disappointed. Especially because of the lack of law enforcement anywhere. This area needs more of a presence whether you agree or not. JMO

Spessie has been a "special" beach since the early 60's.

By special, do you mean Black people?

Spessard Holland south was designated a Black ("Colored") beach back in the 40s or 50s by the County Commission as a result of the residents of south Melbourne petitioning them. There is a strong sentimental attachment still. Shortly after we got here in '59, we happened upon it and pulled into the parking lot. Several gentlemen approached our car (before we even got out) and politely told us we were not welcome; that we had every other beach in Brev County and this one was theirs. We thanked them and pulled out.

Was North Spess a designated "colored" beach too? South Spess is very mellow. North Spess has a frequent party atmosphere. Stir - the shooting was gang related between two different Palm Bay gangs. unconfirmed was that it was after the annual rap concert that happens there during Spring Break.

I think it was the south one, but, I was only 4 at the time. I am relying on my recollection of 1) my dad's many stories of it and 2) Frank Thomas's book for which one it was.

South is home break for me and in truth, it hasn't been very good since the hurricanes. Washed out. There are often black gatherings there and I've never had any problems or felt bad vibes parking or biking down to surf and I'm a skinny little white guy. This was a random bad amongst a predominance of good I think. But please ALL, put your trash in the cans? Sheesh.
