Parking situation at Destin Jetties (Discussion)

What about a hand truck ? My workplace has a real nice one with wide tires, but I believe it was hundreds of dollahs. :money:

Unless the cart is one with wheels like this, I wouldn't even attempt it.

true, the weight alone will cause problems in the sand...hmmm, there must be other solutions

the beach wheelchair at St Andrews has tires like that. I thought about stealing it....

I had a few buddies try the wagon trick. Dive gear is heavy, if you don't have very wide wheels, it'll just sink in the soft sand.

hmmm, wagons with tank treads.....

How about a flat aluminum skid type cart? Kind of like you use up north on the snow.

whoa, that sounds like it might work, only problem is you have to carry it across the street if it doesnt have wheels

Taking a boat around is still the best way. on weekdays, weekends there are too many people showing off their big boats

I imagine that a flat aluminum skid card would be harder to pull on sand due to friction compared to over snow. I think also don't they "wax" the bottom of those carts up north to make them easier to pull? (I've never lived in the 'land of snow' so I don't know).

Like ScbaKris said, a boat is the way to go. On weekends there are a lot of boats there the times i've been. Takes care of that parking problem
