You 4×4 vehicle must have the following as a part of the requirement:

A shovel – Where I got mine: Home depot or Lowes

Portable toilet – I have seen people with a orange homedepot bucket with a black garbage bag, with a stand up tent.  Not sure where to get one of those tents yet.

Jack – A normal scissor jack in your trunk will work fine unless your truck is lifted than you might need a hi-lift jack.

Most long Island beach driving is only made possible by acquiring the proper permits. Although I am new to beach driving or 4 wheeling. I have learned a few things over the past few weeks.

To my understanding you may not just drive on the beach just to drive on it. You must have a fishing permit in order to do so, for the purposes of fishing.
