If you have always wanted to take your adventure to the beach, then I highly recommend exploring the Over Sand Vehicle (OSV) beach at Assateague Island National Seashore.

While it’s a bit of work to install, the result is an incredibly versatile roof rack that can hold up to 900lbs static weight! It’s also incredibly low profile….. which is a problem if you want to mount a rooftop tent!
