Watch that tide!
Driving off-road vehicles onto Del.'s beaches illegal, costly
The News Journal Posted Sunday, September 17, 2006 at 11:32 am Warning: Not only is taking four-wheel drive vehicles into coastal areas managed by the state illegal, it can also be hazardous to your automobile’s health. One SUV owner discovered that the expensive way recently, when the vehicle got stuck at Woodland Beach east of Smyrna. The owner abandoned the vehicle after unsuccessfully trying to tow it away, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control spokeswoman Joanna C. Wilson said in a statement. When the tide came in, the vehicle was submerged in water, and the fire department was notified. Rescue personnel cut the top off to check for trapped occupants, and Fish and Wildlife personnel were contacted to remove the SUV, which was partially buried in the sand, using a large excavator. Afterward, the owner was located, charged and pleaded guilty to driving off the roadway and two related counts, the division reported in a statement. The state Division of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement then issued a reminder that taking SUVs and other off-road vehicles into coastal areas managed by the state is illegal. On private property, a person wishing to drive a vehicle off road must obtain the landowner’s permission. On property managed by the division, the law requires that vehicles stay on established roadways, Wilson said. Violators can face arrest, fines, and a very large towing bill. Delaware state parks, meanwhile, offer limited off-road vehicle access -- by permit only -- to several park beach areas for the sole purpose of surf fishing. Four-wheel-drive vehicles with permits may drive onto the beach only at designated dune crossings and must meet requirements which include carrying a tow rope/chain and a board, jack and shovel.
