Britain’s most treacherous beach claimed tens of thousands worth of motors in just days.
Two camper vans and a VW Beetle all succumbed to the waves at the sandy beauty spot.
Locals were stumped, claiming drivers should heed warning notices.

But the incoming tide continued taking its toll at scenic Black Rock Sands near Porthmadog, with expensive consequences.
On Sunday, 8 Jun, a VW camper van was swamped after being parked on the sand.
Then on Friday, 13 Jun, another campervan suffered the same fate.
And a day later, the white convertible Beetle also got soaked after being submerged.
It reappeared the next morning.
Black Rock Sands is one of the few beaches in North Wales onto which cars can drive.
But its gentle shelf means the tide comes in fast.
Waterlogged sand quickly traps vehicles and, without help, there’s little chance of escape.
Local Kevin Gibson said drivers often get caught out.
“The local council charges people £8.00 to park cars,” he told Need To Know.
“It’s one of the very few beaches which you can drive on.
“It’s very popular.
“People don’t take notice.
“When they drive on the beach, they are warned not to drive past warning signs of soft sand and fast tide.
“Unfortunately, we are seeing cars get caught out all too often as the warnings are ignored.”
“I do feel sorry for the people, it is a shame for them.”
Kevin Wardlaw, who spotted the campervan, said: “I can see how easy it could be for people to get caught out, but the signs are there.”
