We've stayed at the Ritz there, but haven't visited the other beaches on the island. The sand was so deep by the RC there'd be no way you could drive a car there. Happily!!! I do not "get" driving on the beach!

Since much of the areas around there are National Parks, I am guessing you won't find much beach driving.

I have seen some people try it (legal or not, I have no idea) I also helped push them back onto the road. It would about be like driving in a bunch of snow.

A long time ago, it was allowed with resident's permit.

Don't know about now.

Not allowed - thank goodness.

Why would anyone want to drive onto a beach and ruin it? There are enough vehciles on the road - and they should be kept there where they belong.

Agreed, except that many natives of the area (correctly IMO) point out that the beach was 'ruined' when they went ape-doo-doo with (over)development.
