Beach camping

[JudyJB]

Ditto for riding a bike on a sand beach. I did it once with my electric bike when it was new on a hard beach somewhere in Georgia or South Carolina. It took me two hours to get the sand out of the grease on my gears and electric motor! Never again.

I know people do ride bikes on the beach, but I think there must be a special grease that does not attract so much sand.

One terrific place to camp very close to the beach is the national park on Okracoke Island on the Outer Banks. Also don't miss the tallest lighthouse in the US on Hatteras.

Fort DeSoto county park, St Petersburg, FL. And if salt air is a concern, there’s numerous options on the Great Lakes.

You can camp on the beach at Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) for as long as you like and for free. Some of it requires 4 wheel drive, but there's a section at Mustang Island, just S. of Port Aransas, where most any type vehicle can drive onto the beach. There's an RV campground on the beach at Mustang Island SP, which I believe is first come and it requires payment.
