i see no problem with people driving on the beach. same with dirtbikers/4x4 people. as long as they play by the rules(e.g. don't go around destroying some fragile meadow or driving on the clam beds) there's no problem. it's the few idiots in every crowd that manage to get people's recreation banned. for some reason, outdoor activities that don't involve hiking or kayaking are easy targets for the scum who wants to do away with them
