Default Beach landing

Alaska allows beach landings. You would think Florida would have some??

I remember reading somewhere that Copalis Beach in WA was the only ocean beach in the continental U.S. where this was allowed, but don't know if that's correct. Hope there are more locations because it seems like a very cool and appealing setting to fly into and hang out when weather cooperates.

It shows that to land on a beach you don't need a Piper Cub!

RV-7 wheels & wheel pants are fwd of CG

And regarding the quantity of sand in the wheel pants... When I rinsed out the wheel pants back at the home wash-rack, I could see no large quantity of sand in the rinse water. Not saying there was NO sand - just not enough to be highly visible.
