You can drive and park your car onto the packed sand on the beach. All or 4 wheel drive cars are recommended but people usually help cars that get stuck in the sand.
2) It can get pretty chilly even on sunny days with high temperatures if there is wind so be sure to check the weather and take along a jacket.
3) If your family is not used to spending long hours in the car, make it an overnight trip.
