As low as you need to make the tires bag out noticeably.

I used to run 10-15psi in my rocky at stockton. But at the same time, I got away with road pressures on another beach... only just but :lol:

If vehicle is fully loaded with camping gear, I would go down to 25 as a start. BUT MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE ACCORDINGLY.
Once car is unloaded you could easily go to 20.
If you strike very soft sand then drop a few psi again.
Just be sure you adjust your driving to suit the soft tyres
And pump them back up when back on the blacktop.
enjoy your trip! :D
cheers

Id go 18-20, and see how it goes. shouldnt be any drama at that pressure, just drive sensibly. When I had 33s on my 80s I ran 18psi offroad and lowered it to 15psi in situations I wanted more traction. 4runner is several hundred kg lighter than a cruiser, so 18psi should be a good starting point

If the tyres are squealing in soft sand, you probably need to drop a bit more air
