Some of the Houston Jeep People group did this run last summer. It was their group that dropped a dime on the dufus for buzzing the beach so low he was snagging the lines hanging from surf rods. The only real caveat I am aware of is when passing through the Sea Rim state park boundaries vehicles must stay on the beach and not get into the shoreline dunes. The only other problem is the "nude" beach if it still exist. From what I heard there never is anything worth looking at and what there is to see qualifies as fat coyote ugly.
I'll have to check closer to the date but my son and I should be up for it.

Just stay on the beach and avoid the grassy area as if it was the black plague, the park rangers will ticket you in a heart beat. The only thing you have to really watch for is the tide, last year the tide came in super early and we had to change our route severely because the tide came right up to the edge of the state park boundaries forcing us to drive onto the park property. Knowing that driving on the park property is a BIG TIME no no is the reason why we altered our route, one last thing the wind was a BITCH at night, i mean like 25mph plus winds.
