FAQ’s

Where is the nearest public boat ramp?

The Whalehead Club offers a public boat ramp at the end of the parking lot.

Where can I air down and air up my tires if I plan to drive on the 4×4?

Bring a tire pressure gauge. Reduced tired pressure is critical to driving on the beach. We strongly encourage your tire pressure to be 18-20 psi. Complimentary air hoses are available in the parking lot of the Corolla office for guests staying in the 4×4 area to re-inflate their tires. For more information, check out our Guide to Driving on the 4×4.
