Holden Beach N.C? Or Nearby?

Yo kiters, anyone know if it's legal to buggy on Holden Beach N.C or nearby beaches? I'm going to be there July 11-16.

Anyone want to meet up at Holden to kite static if we can't buggy on Holden? I've power-kited there before I had a buggy so I don't know if we can...

Anyone know a nearby beach that we can buggy for sure? .

I'll also be bringing my BloKart along.

We used to take family vacations there, the last was 2005. We house on the beach so flew a lot of static and stunt kites. We also buggied but there is a rule against wind-powered vehicles. Our plan was to play dumb if stopped no one said anything to us but we were careful not to be a problem to anyone. The beach is pretty narrow and getting low tide when it isn't crowed can be tough. The north end has a pretty good sized tidal flat. Not the best place to buggy but beats a blank.

Yea, I know the beach is narrow even at low tide. Nice beach but not a good buggy spot. We go every year, but this is the first year going after learning to buggy. Hate going thru the effort going to a beach and not buggy. I might have a "dumb" issue that day as well and see what happens... Or, I guess I'll scud and impress people with my puma like reflexes flying static...

Still checking on other nearby beaches.
