Designing a road/parking lot on beach sand

Designing a road/parking lot on beach sand

(OP)
Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a road/parking design for beach front property? Will be putting #57 stone down for driving areas, but was wondering about the structural aspect of the road, would you use a geo-grid or something under the rock?

RE: Designing a road/parking lot on beach sand

A properly chosen geotextile fabric to separate the stone from the beach sand should be enough.

You may want to use a geo-grid system
