Please be careful if you go to a 4x4 area. Be prepared for the worst, have drinking water for more days than you need, shovel, fix a flat, and some other stuff I can't remember right now. If you get stuck down there, help might not come for a few days ( especially during the week ). If you check out Alamo Area Anglers, there is a section as you first enter the site which gives a list of items to be prepared for off road beach camping/fishing.

We've gone twice and have got to the give the solitude factor a 10+. You could "Fish Naked" if you wanted to. Remember to pack out ALL your trash and cans. We've gone on weekends so there was some beach traffic. The first time was uneventful. The second, a hurricane was near florida and our tide came up so high it buried the beach. I posted a report about it on AAA site last October. It was extreme 4x4 driving. 1 hour to drive 10 miles in the dark, with very little beach left. We saw travel trailers which were abandoned to the surf. It was sad. Beach camping is primitive. Just like if you were heading into the desert or the mountains, know what to expect and be prepared.
