I have 2wd and no way would risk it. But here's what I have used in the past when stuck at Ponto in Carlsbad.
Air down the rear tires to about 20lbs, spreads the tire out and stops it "cutting" into the sand, take your floor mats from inside the truck and wedge under the tires, ahead of them to assist with grip, gather kelp, seaweed etc and use as much as you can, make sure no ppl ahead of you...floor it |

I've been pretty lucky not getting my Golf stuck out there yet but I'm sure it will happen eventually.

You got that right, starting next I promise I will fish 2-3 days a week. Every week for the rest of my life. Hope to meet you out there.

Like I said, it's just a matter of time before I get stuck and need an assist. I do love my car though and the fact that I get as much use out of it as people get out of SUVs. Nobody ever believes me when I tell them I put my yak on top and drive right on the beach with all my gear in the back. And because it's a TDI I'm still getting almost 40 MPG average fuel consumption combined city and hwy.

Always keep a few 2x4s in the trunk to place under the tires for leverage. Something I learned from living around Nor'easters back East when you're stuck in several feet of ice and snow.

I always make a good runway, rev a few times punch it in first, quickly into second and glide across the sand. Haven't been stuck yet. Last year I got sand trapped a couple times. It's just like fishing la jolla.
