Governor Chris Christie, a Republican seeking re-election, lashed out at beachfront homeowners who won’t grant the state permission to build dunes to protect the state’s 127-mile coast after Hurricane Sandy.

Christie, 50, said residents’ concerns that signing the easements would let the state build boardwalks, snack bars and bathrooms near their homes are off base. The homeowners face a deadline today to sign off on the agreements, or Christie said he plans to disclose the names of holdouts.

“For those people who don’t want to give us the easements after tomorrow, I want to make it very clear to you that we are building these dunes,” he said yesterday at a town-hall meeting on Long Beach Island, an 18-mile (29-kilometer) stretch of shore towns that swell with summer tourists. “And we are building these dunes whether you consent or not.”
