Official ORV Requirement Checklist
Here is what you need to bring! But not to worry - you can pick up most of it at the shop on your way out to the beach.
All Off Road Vehicles (ORVs) must carry the following equipment:
(1) Spare tire—spare shall be the same tire and wheel size as the other four tires mounted on the vehicle (trailer included). Exception: intermediate size spare tires may be acceptable at the discretion of Sandy Neck Staff and two wheel drive motor homes and “dune buggies” must carry one spare tire of sufficient height and aspect ratio to allow the vehicle to drive off the beach under its own power should any of the tires mounted on the vehicle fail.
