Our beach is owned by the state parks department and they are very pro-cat sailor. They let us put in 2 poured concrete footings per beach slip. As long as the boats are tied in, they don't go too far.

Normally I throw my boat on a trailer overnight if it is rocky. A friend of mine one time used two large rock climbing cams for an anchor point.
