So is it possible to drive the FJ on the beach. I looked online and found something about perimits to do this in VA? But couldn't figure out exactly where this was even allowed looked closer to MD
And if it is possible do you have to air down the tires to keep from getting stuck?
Most often I end up a chick's beach (sp)

FullOn - Like Brian said, the Outer Banks is your best bet. There's no beach driving in VB and good luck if the cops catch you - this place has become a police state!!
You can head south to Oregon Inlet or the point on Cape Hatteras, but my favorite place is Carova Beach. Once you get to Kitty Hawk over the bridge, go north through Duck and Corolla until the road ends. Then it's 4wd only up to the VA border - probably 15+ miles. You can drive the beach, or hit the backroads (all unpaved) up in Carova.
A couple words of advice:
1. Drop your air pressure to 15-18 PSI once you're off the road. This is the best thing you can do.
2. If you have A-Trac, do NOT engage it in the sand. It's great for other offroad terrains, but not sand. Rear diff is good.
3. When you come to any intersection on the backroads, slow down and look for knuckleheads in trucks or on ATV's. Lot's of near misses...
4. Bring what you need including fuel - there is nothing, zero retail food, gas, etc. north of Corolla - and that's the way we want it to stay!
Have fun!
