A wind-sketched coastline rolls past as the buggy climbs a dune rim and the Atlantic flares turquoise below. Salt-tangled air and the rhythm of the engine set the pace; the driver circles viewpoints, points out beaches, and stops where the light and the angle of the sand demand a photo. In two hours you move from beach access roads to high coastal lookouts that feel sculpted by wind and tide.
