Tourists’ cars were unfortunately stuck in the sea after they parked on the sand at a holiday hotspot.

Locals watched on in stitches as visitors who left their cars on the beach came back to a horrific site.

The rising tide began splashing around the cars, causing chaos as drivers attempted to salvage their motors.

According to the 34-year-old, beachgoers were left ‘panicking’ by the situation.

The owner of a 2010 Subaru Outback came back to find their motor sinking into the sand and sea.

Plenty of the public came to the driver’s aid to help push the vehicle to safety.

The footage was captured in Polzeath, Cornwall yesterday (25 August).

“Everyone was panicking and it caused much distress,” Sam, from Worcester, told Need To Know.
