Is there any equipment I should invest in before I go. I dont plan on doing anything crazy. Just farting around on the beach and hanging out.

welp, 4 wheel drive makes a world of difference in the sand so you're good there. if you're just gonna fart around your air pressure in your tires should be fine, but if you choose to go further into deeper sand you'll definitely want to air down to at least 20psi or bit lower if possible. airing down will greatly increase your tire surface area and allow for more floatation in the sand as opposed to pizza cutting yourself stuck, but the 4wd helps a ton! you should be good. remember to accelerate slowly when in sand and avoid braking to a stop in sand as opposed to coasting to a stop. avoid dunes if possible, if you come to one make sure you ONLY go straight down one or straight up one. taking one at an angle will increase your chances of a rollover! so don't do it! bear in mind, there's a lot of dunes out there that come out of nowhere if you're not paying attention. oh yeah, remember to air up when you hit the road and have fun!
