Car stuck in the beach

So, the last thing that I did in Pahia, was go up to 90 mile beach. the best part is not even 90 miles, it is something like 64 1/2 miles. But, the settlers use to say that they could bring their cattle 30 miles a day and it would take them 3 days to do it and thats how it got its name.

I tried to do this tour, two days before but I slept through my alarm. We left around 7am, and we finally made up to 90 mile beach around 10 or so. I can't really remember. But, once we got up the driver almost hit a couple of people as he was making his way onto the beach. you can basically go 100 on the beach, but the day that we went there was a fishing competion so he had to watch out for the fishermen.


Most car rental companies will not allow their cars to go onto 90 mile beach. The reason being is that people don't usually check the high tide report and if you go around that time you car will get stuck in the sand. also the exit for 90 mile beach isn't probably labelled.

Now, this car got stuck 10 days before we were up there.

after driving up the beach, we went to the sand dunes, where we stopped the car and got out the body boards and climbed to top of this sand dune. here is a guy wipping out basically half way down the hill.
