Yup, I got a pair of Tred Pros as we'll be solo as well. Also, have a shovel of course and air compressor. I've driven on beaches in other vehicles, just wasn't sure the best way to tackle it in a GX since they have a pretty "smart" 4wd system. I do have MTS which has a sand mode that I may try out.
The GX and 4Runner do quite well on the soft sandy beaches, we drive ours on the beach here nearly every week. Sometimes we don't even need 4WD engaged until it gets really deep. I have tried the Sand mode on the MTS and honestly I can't tell a bit of different with it engaged and that includes when we go into the back lakes via the soft dune entrances.
