Wow.... Just looking at this pic sent cold shivers down my spine. The 4WD I was driving was very similar, same color and we very nearly ended up like that. At one stage we had water nearly mid-doors and I was dodging floating logs and other stuff in front trying no to stop rolling. Problem is that the beach is not a beach south of Eurong. Some parts are a clear vertical cut on the left (1~1.5m high) in sand and there's no way a 4WD will climb that so you can't go left, you can't go right and you can't go back. I feel for those poor buggers
