A quad driving on the beach does more damage than a person walking on the beach. While it is true that a 500 lb. quad with it's weight distributed on 4 tires puts less pounds per square inch than a human foot, quads make a continues track for long distances that squashes everything in their path, and multiple quads create deep ruts. Anyone can see that.

On a more general note, let's face it, driving on the beach is fun. Walking on the beach is fun, too. People, in general, love the beach. I can see the attraction to carefully driving on the mid tide part to find a camp site and enjoy the experience. However, when a few idiots treat the beach as their own private race track, it ruins the experience for the everyone. If you roll up to your beloved shell beach one day and find a locked gate you can thank a handful of inconsiderate jerks who think a cheap thrill is more important than showing a little respect for nature.

Oh, I agree there are the kids (or millennials now), who race around near their camps for fun. Lack of education or no courtesy to others or to Nature, most likely...
However, I think most of us Nomads only want to get to a camping spot or fishing location when we drive on the beach when there is no other route.
Yes, we use the wet sand below high tide. The tracks are erased in a few hours or less.
There is a village in Baja (El MarrĂ³n) where everyone drives the beach as that is the only access to it!
