I'm mostly a person who has only really done /out/ in the mountains despite knowing the basics of operating most boats (row boats, canoes,small sail boats, board sail). I have only been on the coast of the ocean and to be honest I am a little careful around the ocean. My wife wants to camp on the beach though alone for obvious reasons and also for adventure. She has never ever been on a kayak and so a canoe would be the only thing I think about taking out.

so how hard is it to park a truck , paddle out to a coastal island in N or S carolina area and camp on a wilderness beach and head back without getting in trouble with the law. or am I a retard living dangerously.
