I have a 4WD permit for Breezy Point, NY, and its fun driving around there, but it is somewhat crowded and there is no camping allowed.

Does anyone know where, on the East Coast, one can drive out on the beach and stay overnight, build a fire, etc, with an SUV? Cape Cod allows overnight stays only for self contained vehicles (plumbing, holding tanks, etc. I would like to take a drive with my wife and dog and camp out on a nice secluded beach for a couple of days.

 

Try outer banks

Here's some Outer Banks (OBX) info:

Carolina Beach in North Carolina

 

plenty at OBX NC

 

Daytona, Fl.

 

Cool! I'm going to investigate these further.

We were in Daytona a couple of years ago, and drove our rental Saturn on the beach. Fun, but not the atmosphere I'm looking for. Daytona was really crowded! I want a place where I may not see another vehicle. Fat chance, I know, but that's my ideal. Thanks for all the info!

 

I grew up around there and you sure as heck can't camp there, and you will see many soul's. Your best bet it OBX, is also closer to you.

Last I knew they closed Daytona Beach to traffic, but I could be wrong (it's happened before).

Can't camp on beaches directly @ OBX but there are camp grounds. I go there on a regular basis during the warmer months.

 

ocracoke island OBX, you can camp on. you can do anything but drive in the surf.

daytona is closed to traffic in most places

lbi but cant wheel

 

beach camping is fun but prepare for lots of sand in everything.

 

x2 on Assatueage Island

 

try http://www.assateagueisland.com/ its just outside ocean city,md. i dont know if they allow camping but i do know there are wild horses for the family to look at and you can drive right up to the water check it out though

 

Carolina Beach in NC is nice and not a lot of traffic. If you want to build a fire you have to bring a can or burn barrel with you and take your left overs with you. Its not too bad and i have been there 3 or 4 times now.

X3 in Assateague Island. I've been camping there years ago.

 

Beaches north of Duck NC tend to be remote with wild horses roaming around. Also you could try Hatteras NC as well.
