Having relocated from the West coast to Cape Cod last fall we are excited about trying to give Sandy Neck Beach a try. I have been out there before in a 4x4, but not yet with my camper. Here is what they require;

A. All off road vehicles (ORVs) must carry the following equipment:
(1) Spare tire—spare shall be the same tire and wheel size as the other four tires
mounted on the vehicle (trailer included). Exception: two wheel drive motor
homes and “dune buggies” must carry one spare tire of sufficient height
and aspect ratio to allow the vehicle to drive off the beach under its own
power should any of the tires mounted on the vehicle fail.
(2) Tow device—minimum length 15 feet
(a) rope - 3/4” diameter, or
(b) strap - 6,800 lb. capacity, 1 1/2” wide, or
(c) chain - 5/16” link, or
(d) cable - 3/8” diameter, or
(e) suitable vehicle mounted winch.
(3) Jack—standard type jack or hydraulic jack.
(4) Support board—minimum size 18” x 18”, 3/4” plywood or 1/4” thick steel.
(5) Shovel—heavy duty, equal to military folding type or better.
(6) Tire gauge—low pressure type, must register 10 psi or lower.
(7) Sandy Neck Beach Park Regulations and tide current chart (both provided).
(8) Self-contained vehicles must carry a measuring device that determines a 30
foot distance.
B. It is recommended that all ORVs are equipped with a bucket, fire extinguisher and a
first aid kit.
C. Minimum acceptable tire rim size for all ORVs is 13 inches.
