This beach is an absolute must see! One of the few places left in the US where public beach access is granted to all 4x4 vehicles. The beach is beautiful with soft white sand and the ocean is a great during the summer months. The beach is 11 miles long, but there are countless more miles of trails behind the beach. Some of the trails can become challanging as they are often flooded with deep water. On the back trails you can find wild horses that live in this area. Make sure to read up on local laws before entering the beach as they do have active law enforcement on the beach, and with the beach access comes different laws. Two very important laws are: 15 mph speed limit on the beach, and maintain 50ft distance from the horses at all time (no feeding or interaction of any kind other than watching)..

Hidden Skills Course
Submitted on Jun 25, 2022
Just got back from Carova. While wheeling through the back roads I came across a skills course that had planned pools of various depths in a loop course. Sadly, I couldn’t find it again the next day as I searched the labyrinth of back roads. Does anyone know where that course can be found on the backroads of Carova Beach?

Great beach for 4x4s. Not much technically, but as far as a good easy drive through the sand it can't be beat. Bring the family and have a picnic!
