Well,that is a good question and have researched it myself without luck...I see as many without flags as with..Had folks tell me they are not needed and had folks tell me they were..

The first couple times I didn't have anything...Then I bought a cheap flag at WalMart (for bicycles,5 bucks) and zip tie that to my CB antennae.. Now I am considering just paying the 10 bucks for a permit for just in case..

Right now there are few people down there but as the weather improves so will the people and, law enforcement..LOL

Time your trip so you have wet sand to drive on,out and back.., You have one small creek to cross,but it is not a problem.. The road to the beach is kinda rough in spots.. wink
