A ton of news websites do this now, navigating to a “Before you go…” page when you hit the back button. I’ve always suspected this kind of behavior has a lot to do with why people don’t read articles anymore. You know what you’re getting when you open a comment section on Reddit, Hacker News, or Twitter. The majority of other websites are going to be borderline impossible to view on mobile.
Chrome with JS disabled works good enough for me on mobile. It's also easy to whitelist specific sites. But mostly, if I get a blank page I just go back.
I usually figure that it is ads published in an ad network and placed on the site pages. The site usually doesn’t know anything about the specific ads and only has very general options to limit the kinds of ads that appear. The most that they could do is to drop the ad network if they get a lot of complaints.
“Hawaiian petroglyphs dating back at least a half-millennium”
Which means 500 years ago. You can buy entire books published that long ago, if you have a spare thousand or two USD. Pushing the antiquity of the finding by referring to “millennium” seems very American.
When there are already people living there, it is not a discovery at least not at a humanity level as it is generally implied when there is no additional precision.
It's basically a small Army base adjacent to most of the beach so that's why you can't park there. There's some public parking at the public access area at the south end. If you owned a house that was up against a private beach, I doubt you'd let people park in your driveway or cut through your yard to access it.

There's a concept in common law called the public trust doctrine[1] that we inherited from our British legal lineage that many states incorporate into their handling of beaches.
For example, some states hold all beaches in public trusts, and everyone has the right to use them. There being no such thing as "private beaches", although riparian rights can be rented, also means that the public has a right to access those beaches even if private property blocks access.
In those cases, the public has both perpendicular and lateral beach access rights, the former meaning you can legally cut across private property to access beaches, the latter meaning that you can walk up and down beaches to access other beaches.
That's to say your feelings about people crossing private property don't really matter when it comes legal beach access, Hawaii holds all waters and beaches in public trusts via public trust doctrine that courts have held up for literally centuries.
States are allowed to interpret public trust doctrine independently and as a result, apply it differently between states.
I'm not aware of any states that have private beaches, but states have different interpretations of, for example, how much dry sand can be accessed by the public if dry sand can be accessed at all.
Were used to it in Malibu. The publicly owned shoreline can be reached through the legally mandated passageways, if you can make it through the locked gates and avoid being seen by security.
It's the same in ... well at least some of the continental states. Georgia for sure has mandated public access (mostly) and the beaches cannot be privately owned, specifically up to the high watermark. We used to use this to swim over and surf on Sea Island ... much to the chagrin of their rent-a-cops!
Depending on the age of the petroglyphs, would be directly or indirectly related to:

Warning for others, this website opened a new tab, forwarded to Booking.com and hijacked my back button.

That's wild. I vaguely thought sfgate was a reasonably reputable site.

I just use Brave and its builtin ad blocking on iOS. This is the killer app of these days.
Very few sites really work with js disabled.

Are you using anything to help prevent this kind of abuse like using Firefox, AdNauseum, or AdGuard? I wasn't able to reproduce this
That is extremely interesting. Booking.com is driving a lot of traffic, as I have outlined previously on HN:

Trying to wrap my head around the term "cultural practitioner", even after looking it up. Don't we all transmit our culture?
“One who demonstrates and interprets cultural practices to people from other cultures, often as a means of cultural preservation.”
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cultural_practitioner
Imagine a “tour guide” focused on their own culture.
You may remember the fire dancers.

What a terrible website

In Spain often for 300-500€ depending on the book.
"Uncovered" should be "once again uncovered".
Why?
It is like when people talk about the discovery of america. America wasn't discovered with Columbus. A civilization met other existing ones.
It's your belief that they have been uncovered more than once?
When there are already people living there, it is not a discovery at least not at a humanity level as it is generally implied when there is no additional precision.
No one said discovered here. You're litigating a past point. Uncovered was the term used, not discovered.
> The shoreline is publicly accessible, but parking at the Army’s recreation center requires military ID.
There's something poetically sad about this.

I thought beach accessibility was federal. Are there states that allow private beaches?
States are allowed to interpret public trust doctrine independently and as a result, apply it differently between states.

We have a variation on this in New Zealand. Below the high tide line is public land. Good luck getting there.
I've have never before heard a parking situation described in poetic terms. I might go take a long walk on a beach to ponder that.
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
