We never had a "beach car", but I have some friends that do, typically an older 4x4 that is pretty rusted out, they keep them at the coast to use to drive out to the best spots for surf fishing. About the closest I ever came to that was the "dog car", we had an older Honda station wagon that we kept around to haul the dogs in, they weren't allowed in the newer car the family rode in.
