A first timer’s guide to beach driving

AutoExec Summary
Off-roading on Australian beaches, such as K’gari and Rainbow Beach, is a popular activity that requires careful preparation. Key steps include checking tides, reducing tire pressures for better traction, and having local knowledge and recovery gear. Use high-range four-wheel drive and disable traction control when driving on sand. Maintain momentum, avoid sharp turns, and stay vigilant for hazards like eroded areas and driftwood. Drive responsibly to protect wildlife and obey speed limits. After beach driving, switch to high-range two-wheel drive, re-engage traction control, inflate tires, and wash your car’s underside to prevent corrosion. Enjoy the experience safely!
