DO NOT THINK ..... AIR DOWN ...... In muddy rocks air down to, say, 19psi. In sand you can go lower, such as 14psi.
This picture was taken in the outer banks of North Carolina. The van also spent a lot of time on the beach on Long Island, NY (after we purchased the required fishing pole and contended with driving through the nudist beach).
The little guy who is in the van there getting a cold one with the blue bathing suit is a little bigger now. This is Seth at 18, in this case driving a borrowed Doka last summer for 3 weeks in Uganda:

This right here is what this VW life style and growing up experience is all about! I too grew up in a (Westfalia 78 avocado green) and I am now on my second rig. I love the pics and Seth is now a VW lifer! So great to see him carry the torch! This actually choked me up a bit

with the tires at 15psi you should be able to get through.... as long as one of the wheels is on the ground in the sand and you aren't making a long trek.
