$150 for a Federal permit is a disgrace to start with.
Gateway National Recreation Area in NYC gets $25 for a 4x4 permit. There isn't much beach and the permit really isn't valid until Sept 1, but at least it's only 25 smackers.
FINS (Fire Island National Seashore) has as much driveable beach as the Race. It's been awhile since I got the sticker, but it was still under $50 the last I heard.
FINS bans 4x4 travel between June 15-Sept. 15, but you know that going in, and the way CCNS is going, that might turn out to be true for the Race anyway.
