Driving on the Beach

[NewbJLUOwner]

Hello All
So, I've had my first ever Jeep for 3 months now. Love it.
I live in New Smyrna Beach Florida
I drive on the beach daily (yes almost daily) and love it
From 27th street entrance to Ponce Inlet, it's approximately 5.5 miles of non stop beach
Soft sand at times, that really shows off the 4x4 capabilities
Takes about 35 minutes @ 10mph driving and looking at the sights, stopping intermittently etc
Was wondering if there were other beaches in the US, that have a longer stretch?
Any suggestions?

Assateague. Maybe 15 miles to the Virginia border, then you have to turn around and come back

The Outer Banks of North Carolina has a truck beach past Currituck. There's rental houses available only by 4x4 as well as a wild horse sanctuary in the area. I'm not sure if it's a "longer" trip than what's offered in your area though.

We used to drive on the beach in Oceano Dunes, California.

A few weeks ago we were in St. Augustine Beach and drove South on the beach. We were at Vilano Beach, St. Augustine Beach, and Crescent Beach within designated areas.

Padre island in Texas. Very remote. I think its around 60 miles long that you can drive on. Look up Big Shell beach.

Thanks. Wasn't aware it was that long a stretch of beach driving
Much appreciated ?

Padre Island National Seashore outside of Corpus Christi, TX. 60 miles long and it is the longest stretch of undeveloped beach in the country (maybe world). Great for camping (anywhere you want on the beach) and surf fishing. When I go I drive far enough down that there usually isn't anyone else within a couple miles of me.

Head to the north of the Seashore and there are many more miles of beach to be driven through Port Aransas, and other towns.

I can't speak to Big Shell Beach but Longest drivable beach in the US is.... Yep, Long Beach, Washington according to multiple sources. About 20mi.

I'm guessing the criteria is continuous beach and legal? A lot of fun to drive in the summer. Kite festivals, Sand Castle competitions, Clamming, and campfires if you ever come up to the NW corner of our amazing country.
