A Florida man was arrested Tuesday morning after he drove through a closed beach and into the ocean in Volusia County.

According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, shortly before 9 a.m., deputies were called to New Smyrna Beach after a vehicle drove around a closed gate and accessed the beach without paying the toll fee.

Check out the town of Carova Beach, North Carolina. Accessible only by driving on the beach or by water.

There's A Facebook page dedicated to taking pictures of people getting stuck. Apparently all you have to do is air down your tires to like 12 psi and keep to a reasonable speed, but a lot of people think their car, truck, or SUV can handle sand without those precautions.
