Beach ride that you can start from any town along the beach. Distance is one way so double it if you are doing the all of it. There are some small stream crossings that will get your tires and frame a little wet/sandy. There is no elevation gain/loss but soft sand can feel like a big climb. Start when the tide starts to go out so you will have maximum firm sand. If you do not beat the tide there are plenty of exits to roads.

With a bike, there are no legal ways off the beach North of Osterville Road except by boat;-)

If you think you can out run the tide while doing the full out and back, then start as soon as the tide begins going out. This will give you the most time on firm sand. It may start out soft depending on the conditions.

You can drive to the start of this route but only on the beach. Do not leave your vehicle there or the high tide will get it. You can not drive to the finish, you will have to ride back to Oysterville Road to get picked up.
