Beach Driving Can Cause Serious Ecological Impacts

"It is also widely recognized that beach driving can cause serious ecological impacts by potentially destroying nesting areas for sea turtles and birds such as the piping plover and damaging or destroying vegetation and dunes. Shore erosion can be accelerated by careless beach driving and vehicles on the beach can be a safety hazard to beach goers." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's Coastal A-Z article entitled, "Beach Driving."
