Parks & Nature

The only place you can drive your car on the beach. You can also rent and ride dune buggies and ATVs on the beach. At night, bring some firewood, a blanket & your favorite drinks and gather around a fire pit. There is a small cost per vehicle to drive on the beach and it is recommended you have a larger vehicle before attempting to drive on the dry sand; you don’t want to get stuck in the dunes.
