Tourists reversed their car onto a West Country beach to save them walking with their kayak from the car park - and got stuck all night. Mark Moseley was driving past Swanpool Beach in Falmouth early on Sunday afternoon (May 1) when he spotted two men trying to shovel their BMW out of the sand, reports Cornwall Live.
The engineer who lives in the area had been checking out the surf for a quick bodyboard session and decided to stop instead and give the pair from Guildford a hand. He said: “The two blokes said they came last night and couldn’t be bothered carrying their kayak from the car park to the sea so they decided to back the car onto the beach even though there is a sign that asks people not to drive any vehicle onto the beach. Guess what? They got stuck all night.”
The car park is just on the other side of the road, less than 20 metres from the water’s edge. The 54-year-old granddad-of-four added: “They were lucky to have backed their car just above the tide line and that the sea didn’t cover it or push it further back.”
