Lock your wheels to the telephone pole thing at the launch entrance. Easy accese

I wheel mine from where I parked. I just store the cart in the front hatch and launch.

I have a 4wd so no worries in the sand however it's a little sketchy leaving your yack in attended. But in the morning there are plenty of other yakers willing to watch your stuff. But like the others said keep your momentum until you hit the hard sand

And I am willing and able to help a fellow yaker in need if they get stuck in the sand so if your stuck look for a new big black Ram

In the morning I pull up, park and access the tide situation. I know ahead of time if it's coming in or out. Prior to driving on the sand I make sure I have enough space to motor through the first 20'. I'll then unload and ask fellow yakker to watch my gear as I drive and park. When landing I do the same in reverse, only this time I walk with my rods and reels, rinse at the showers that are slightly north of the launch and then drive back. I've had good karma asking either the kayak instructors that are on break or another yakker to watch my stuff. Nothing is on deck for an easy grab. You can also tell tourists they can watch your stuff in return for having their kid take a photo in your yak (once on sand)
Last word, if you land on incoming tide be sure to haul your yak way up the beach.
