sometimes the sand is harder to get through than it seems..i've been stuck with a 4wd subaru wrx and i've made it through with a lowered honda fit...just depends on the day...i think everybody here has been stuck somewhere sometime...it IS easier to park and to carry the kayak ashore but i think the temptation to go fish is greater than the consideration of the possibility of being stuck....to each his own..but i think the knuckleheads are the ones that are on the live cam WATCHING people fishing..not the ones that are trying to get out and fish
