Hydrate and protect from sun
Bring water and apply high-SPF sunscreen—reflection off the sand increases UV exposure.
Limit aggressive maneuvers
Sharp steering or braking on a crest can flip a buggy; accelerate smoothly and pick wide entries.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet during entry/exit and from hot sand when exiting the vehicle.
Sunglasses or spare goggles
