You hit the starter and the UTV answers with a low, eager growl—sand sprays behind the tires as the Pacific appears like a sudden silver wall to your left. The route alternates between firm desert tracks, soft dune shoulders and short runs along beach edges, the wind carrying salt and sun through the open roll cage.
