Really really big signs at Southport forbidding private cars from driving on the beach - I suppose rental cars are exempt. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

There are beaches in Australia where the sand is more than hard enough for 2wd cars. Then there are other beaches where the sand will not support anything & signposted accordingly.

The question is though, was it the abilities of the car or the driver that were at fault?
