When I moved to a Crystal beach, a coastal town of under 800 people late last year, it did not appear to be a good place to ride a scooter. A highway ran through the center of town with only a couple of traffic lights to slow the traffic and a lot of non-connected streets that dead end at the water branched from it. Boy was I wrong! -It is legal to travel the nice broad beach on motorized vehicles for almost 30 miles. The beach is the “highway” for locals in their golf carts, quads and most any vehicle. -Many city streets and county roads allow you to drive directly onto the beach, which also allows the local slow-movers the ability to go to stores, restaurants and other local destinations without getting onto the highway. You can get around this town just fine on a 50cc scoot, but I have a 125. -I know we will probably lose the privilege of driving on the beach one day, especially if we abuse it, but I sure am taking advantage of it now.

I have no plans to ride out a hurricane. (My uncle rode out Hurricane Frederick in the powder magazine at Ft Morgan) . I will hitch up the RV an drive inland.
