In regards to Traction Control in a Rubicon, doesn't the Off Road + button disable traction control and optimize everything for sand?

Stock tires at 15psi will do fine. The speed limit on that beach is 10 mph so do your transmission a favor and keep it in 4Low to avoid overheating the transmission.. Avoid hard braking, let the Jeep coast to a stop whenever possible and try not to make sharp turns.

Great info. Thanks for sharing this! I look forward to getting out on the beaches here in the PNW!

Interested also, I'm planning on my first beach driving at the Jersey shore and wondering if 4HI or 4Lo is the way to go.
Also welcome to the club Alex

I might be a little late to your question. But I was on Island Beach State Park in NJ today. . I aired down to 18psi in 4L. Driving a manual in 4L to me was interesting. Was trying to get in right gear for the deep stuff.
