beach buggy
Coastal off-roader vehicle
A beach buggy is a lightweight recreational vehicle with large tires, designed for driving on sand.
Most have open frames, roll bars, and rear-mounted engines—often built on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis.
We rented a beach buggy and drove along the dunes.
Also called a dune buggy.
