I take it you mean the gate in the north entrance?
This has been closed for a long time now. At first it was for erosion control.
It is a dangerous entrance and several people have had near misses with traffic on the bend.
No one has crashed into the Diamond stone since people stopped crossing at that point.
I think they should put in a gate opposite the cove for easier access but the paperwork for a new gate is horrendous.
Any news on the proposed camp site yet?
