Tdodge,

Been going there since I wass born, 45 years now. Take my kids now as well. I have never driven on the beach except to park where the road ends and the signs say no driving beyond. Usually use walk in access where we camp. Never had any issue getting clams.

It's an asthetic thing for me. I like to go places and not hear the roar of motors and smell the fumes. They are getting fewer and far between with the quads and jet skiis . Try cutting a Christmas tree anymore without the snowmobiles whining in the back ground.
