Sand leaps against the windshield as the UTV surges forward, the engine growling beneath a sky that seems to push the wind across the coast. In a matter of minutes the packed streets of Jeri give way to a landscape that still behaves like a living thing — dunes that shift under tire and tide, lagoons that sit like blue mirrors, and a coastline that dares you to go farther.

Protect electronics from sand
Use a waterproof, zippered pouch or dry bag — fine sand will jam buttons and ports quickly.
Bring sun protection and sunglasses
The coastal wind intensifies sun exposure; high SPF sunscreen and wraparound shades will keep you comfortable.
Secure loose items and clothing
Tuck scarves and hats or clip them to your person; sand and wind can turn belongings into projectiles.
Follow the guide and safety briefing
The guide on a motorcycle sets speed and line — stay with the group and obey instructions for crossing soft sand or river fords.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet during short walks in sand and when entering/exiting the UTV.
