Most of us in FLorida have barrier coats and bottom paint so not a real
long term issue. If you think it is a problem, just carry 2 anchors and
drop one on the way in and the other after you back in (carry it to the
beach). This also helps if you happen to go to the beach on a falling
tide.

Here in Florida, it's common practice to bring smaller boats into the
shallows to "beach". Then everyone gets out and plays, lounges, BBQs,
etc.

What damage does this do to the boats hull? Doesn't the sand
eventually sand away the protective gel coat? Is there anything you
can do like good wax?

Of those, Hamby's is thicker, but the others are good also.
