Ok, great, we have a date and beach nailed down. As far as where on the beach, I would like to throw in my two cents. I think it is best to set up SOUTH of Beach Access Road 1. This road split’s the Newport Dunes golf club/course on hwy 361(you can google it). There is a golf cart bridge going over hwy 361 just south of Beach access Road 1. Please don’t confuse beach access road 1 with beach access road 1A, they are two different roads. I would like to stress staying just SOUTH of beach access road 1 due to less stupid redneck traffic, it seems most of the beach traffic ends up turning at that road and heads back towards town, so by staying south there is less night traffic for the beach campers to listen to all night long.


Just a few fact nuggets about the low-cal

there are poop cans:Flush: on the beach about every ¼ mile
There are free fresh water showers:bad: at access road 1 on the beach
You will need a beach access vehicle sticker on your window to park on the beach (at anytime) you can get one for like $12 at any gas station in the area
Camping is free (with said sticker) for 3 consecutive days on the beach
There is not any kind of launch ramp on the beach, so you will need to cart skis into the water, if you don’t have a cart just ask to use one, most people don’t mind. people also wheel trailers in by hand.
99.9% of the beach is drivable with two wheel drive vehicles and cars
the law states that every motor vehicle on the beach must be registered, ie atv dirtbikes golf carts (I still bring my mini bikes)
The tide does sometimes cover the whole beach and beach road but only seen it that high once:Thinkingof_:
Ferry is free even for Fairys:cheer:

Did I hear my name 3 times?!!!! Good to see y'all got my subliminal messages and figured this all out. :nana:

So it's official, last weekend of April. Location is PORT A south of the gulf access road 1a where the overpass is for the golf coarse as usual. That is where we are allowed to ride and camp legally so its the only spot that really works. Its not too far from gas and hotels plus it is somewhat secluded. Start looking for riders, campers around marker 27 and head south.

I will try to re-post or link all the port a legal stuff so everyone can see why we ride there. Also, ill check in with the local authorities to make sure we are still good as we where the last few years.

For those that suggest other loacals, we have ridden at the jetties when its flat(Big fishing boat wakes=fun) and down at packery(Very clean surf). Those are great spots for little side trips throughout the weekend if conditions permit or demand. Get with Skinny, Penguin, me or the past 'Organisers' to get something together on that once we see how it goes.

Cant wait to get out there again. Hope I can come for a day or two. A lot going on in my personal life that pulls me away from skis right now.
