Yup! Stock height and wheels. I plan on putting a 2.5 inch lift and larger tires on at some point but have had no issues on the beach and we've been out there several times. Bought the year pass. I do let the air out of the tires though. I've seen large trucks and jeeps get stuck out there but when you let the air out of the tires they get right out. I normally let my air out to around 18lbs, lock my rear diff and 4-high, and turn off traction control....no issues. I also bought traction boards just in case I ever need them but have only used them to help others get unstuck. Its really fun! If you're close enough to NC you should check it out! Back right up and don't have to carry all your stuff down to the beach lol Lot of people fish out there too....don't laugh at my small fish haha

Is that Freeman Park? I didn't think you could drive onto the Ft. Fisher beach; if so, where is your entry point?

TIA

If it is Freeman Park, it's $200 a season, or $40 a day.

Its not Freeman Park....its Fort Fisher beach...entry is by the state park office. 30 dollars a day on weekends or 90 for a year pass

Does the year pass go from the day you buy it to the same day a year later? At Freeman it is $200 and ends in January regardless of when you purchase it. This sounds like a better deal.

Thanks! definitely adding this stop to the east coast road trip. Do you know any good camping around the area?
I know there's camping at the Carolina Beach state park not far from there. Tent and RV camping. There's a marina there as well. There may be some other camping areas around but I'm not familiar with any.
