Only because they got DJ Spalls in who knew what they were doing and had the proper equipment.
That'll be knackered then...

Proper tyres would have helped but beaches are always tricky because you never know how firm the sand is, especially as the water level comes up.

Yep I almost got caught out driving on Fraser Island in Australia, it’s all sand beaches and dunes. Luckily low tyres pressures and momentum carried me through

There's a lot of criticism of the owner for getting his rangie stuck but how many experienced off roaders on here have never got stuck at some time. Theses vehicles have a renowned reputation as go anywhere so I would have thought it could cope with a bit of sand.
And yes, the red trim does look sh!t.

I doubt she'll care about getting the p ripped out of her. She was driving a Sport with red trim
I would like to know if insurance covers 'deliberate stupidity' though, as I don't see that clause in mine

Aren't all the beaches private land and therefore parked at the owner's own risk?! Not sure my insurance covers me off road TBH.

The shore between low & high tide marks is the property of the Crown I was told. The driver can probably expect a parking ticket from Dizzy Buckingham and a visit from the Royal Receiver of Wrecks (as her car is certainly a wreck now).

Almost any vehicle can get stuck in sand unless it's on caterpillar tracks.

He'll do well to find a sport with a manual
