"Air down" your tires to 8 to 12 psi (I give you the latitude because 
many people can't bring themselves to let their tires down to 8 psi) and 
then my guess is that your only worry will be getting hung up on your 
differentials. I'm particularly good at this advice because I've so often 
waited until I get stuck, to air down. Airing down is relatively useless 
once you've dug holes deep enough that your vehicle is sitting on its 
running gear. 
Have a great time. Last and only time I was at Padre Island I found a 
full untouched bale of marijuana. Having no use for it, I cut it open and 
dumped the pot into the ocean. Too bad that someone who could use it 
didn't find it. 
Yes, that's a true story! I couldn't make up a story that crazy.
