Simple Offroad : to the beach ... !!

Got a chance to drive this little Lj80 with my family to the beach. I was expecting to struggle dry sand, prepared some manual recovery gear, but found wet sand instead. Wet sand feels firm, solid, there was no deep wheel print on the sand indicating we are floating on it. Or is this because the feather-weight jimny?

235/70 AT r15 on self painted 15x7 wheel at 20psi walk nicely on the sand. I was carrying air pump incase i need to air-down but not used, seeing how easy it run.

I was using 4wd-high at 1st gear, throttle medium-high constantly while zipping thru the wet sand next to sea water. It was fun, until when we werr about goibg home, there is transition from wet to dry sand which bogged the engine a little, changed to 4wd-low at high throttle easily clear up that area. 

It was fun ride with this little LJ80
