anybody out there getting some good miles in sand/beaches?

now i just have to figure out if i should go with the FDI 4x4 in the 5sp or CVT2......

it will be a 95% road driver (of that mostly city... about 90% of the time) with about 5% of play.... which will be mostly beach driving in st. augustine and daytona beach.... is there an advantage to the 5sp or the CVT2 when it comes to doing some off roading in the SAND? anyone out there who has had their patriot in the sand? what do you have and what's been the results???? -thanks

If you are sand driving in St Augustine don't go under the bridge, it's all soft and wet underneath like quicksand. I drowned a vehicle there when the local tow guys refused to go in and get me.
