When I first started RVing, I was looking forward to camping on a beach. Never had the opportunity, and now from what I've seen and heard, that's the last place I'd take mine.
A few weeks ago, I spent a couple of hours watching autos get stuck in the sand in Long Beach Washington. Was very entertaining watching people trying to get unstuck, even saw a tow truck get stuck trying to free a car..........another tow truck showed up and finally everyone got free.

Sad how fear may stop a lifetime memory because something inconvenient might happen. You drive on freeways after seeing horrendous accidents you go over bridges after seeing collapses. But you are unwilling to risk getting stuck in the sand. You might say your feet are already stuck in the sand

Yep, I'm a scaredy cat.........yep, I drive on freeways, and yep, I drive over bridges.............mainly, because it's a better way to go, then cutting across someones open fields, I don't have a lot of choice. When it comes to driving my motor home on the beach, I have a choice and like I said, with what I've seen and heard, I'll make the choice not to camp on the beach.
It's not only getting stuck, but I talked to a gentleman a few years ago, that had a class C, had camped many times on the beach, one night, a rogue/sleeper wave hit and flooded his motor home. I've also talked to people that did it once and said they'd never get the sand out of everything. These and other stories aided in me making my decision.
If anyone wants to camp on the beach, enjoy, just be careful. I'll wave at you from my car or as I walk by.
