A local spotted the stuck BYD vehicle and shared it on social media.

“Dunno if u can park there,” they captioned a video.

“Sunday scaries in full swing,” they captioned a photo of the still-bogged vehicle an hour later.

The incident was then shared on Facebook page The Bell Tower Times, where the comments made light of the situation.

“Beach Your Dreams,” one person joked — referencing the BYD brand being the capital letters for the slogan Build Your Dreams.

“Bog Your Dreams?” another person suggested.

Many questioned why the vehicle was on the sand to begin with.

“People who drive on the beach deserve this,” one person said.

“Why oh why do they try and drive their cars on the beach,” another person said.

A person claiming to be the owner of the vehicle said they had driven onto the beach to take some photos.

“But we didn’t expect the front of the car to get stuck,” they said.

“Since this car only has a tow hook in the front, we had no choice but to make a U-turn.

“However, it’s clear that we should have called for assistance as soon as we realised we couldn’t move it.

“We tried to move it all night.”
