Restricting access to the sandbar is a horrible idea, and removing it is even worse. You can not protect people from themselves. Thousands and thousands of people walk that sandbar every year and somehow manage to avoid problems. As someone who fishes there, you simply must respect nature. I would not, however, be opposed to a large (4' x 8') sign listing the name and dates of those who have died there for, say, the last fifty years. This incident was a horrible tragedy, but it does not mean it was anyone's fault. If you want to restrict access to all areas where people are in peril, close Rt. 95.
