✨ Navigating Your Way to The Hemingway ✨
☀ Essential Vehicle Information/Requirement:
An AWD or 4WD vehicle (Opt for our Shuttle Service if you don't have one) with at least 7.5 inches of ground clearance is necessary (e.g., Toyota 4Runner, Lexus GX, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Chevy Tahoe, and most trucks). Avoid 2WD Vehicles: A tow from the sand costs $400 and consumes vacation time, so a 2WD vehicle is not recommended.
To ensure a smooth arrival, an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle with at least 7.5 inches of ground clearance is required! A tow from the sand is $400 and consumes a lot of precious vacation time, so trust us and don’t try the drive in a 2WD vehicle.
Three Convenient Options for Arrival:
Drive Your Own or a Rental 4x4/AWD Vehicle: We recommend local rentals that allow beach driving. Stop at Historic Corolla Park to reduce tire pressure by 10-15 pounds before driving on the sand. Easier driving conditions are during low tide and cooler temperatures.
