    Engagement shoot with a Ferrari - Where can I go to the beach with a car in Miami?

    I am going to have a fun engagement shoot with a very nice couple and a Ferrari.
    In the Miami area, I would like to take them to the beach where we can get very close the the water. Do you know a place in the Miami area where I can take some fun photos of them, the car and the beach? It would be great if we could go onto the sand with the car...

    Any fun ideas?

    Also, please share you experience with us if you have ever done an engagement session with a car. It would be great if you would have a link to the photos...!

    Any fun engagement shoot ideas with a car are welcome!

    how are you going to get a ferrari onto a beach? Even my jeep has trouble with loose sand...

    Good luck, anyway.

    There used to be areas you can get close to the beach (Virginia key, etc.)

    The only place I can think of that you can drive a car on the beach is Daytona and sometimes they make it "4X4 only' Plus if I had a Ferrari I would not let it close to the beach.

    Maybe some area around the port by the river? Are you going to have a chase car to get some shots while they are driving in it around Miami?

    Gritty sand and salt water - good luck!

    I once took my family conversion van to the beach for some surf fishing (clearly marked "park at your own risk"). Got bogged down within 30 seconds and the closest fisherman told me to leave it and let the high tide come and claim it for insurance. Found 4 other more helpful people who pushed it all the way back to firmer ground.
