Residents have ruthlessly mocked two drivers who parked their cars on a beach and left them to be destroyed by the sea.

A convertible Peugeot 206 and a Vauxhall Corsa were demolished by the waves on Blackpool Beach, Lancashire.

The vehicles had been parked on the beach at South Shore and then became stranded in the water after the tide quickly rolled in.

One of the motors was flipped onto its roof and the other was partially washed out to sea.

By the time council workers had rescued the vehicles on February 29, both had missing wheels, smashed windscreens and heavy bodywork damage.

Locals did not take pity on the owners after seeing the images of their mangled cars, with one joking: ‘Can’t park there, mate.’

A Blackpool Council spokesperson said: ‘On Thursday evening, two vehicles were removed from the beach at South Shore.

‘We have been in contact with the registered keepers and will seek to recover our costs.

‘We understand the vehicles became stuck in the sand and the drivers were unable to drive them off the beach before the tide came in.

‘Thankfully, no one was injured but it serves as a reminder as to why only authorised vehicles should access the beach.’
