beach buggies
Dune-crawling cars
Beach buggies are lightweight recreational vehicles with large wheels designed for driving on sand.
Typically built on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis with an open frame and no doors, they became icons of California surf culture in the 1960s.
Also called dune buggies, though that term emphasizes desert terrain over coastal use.
