Coastguard officials have advised against driving on to beaches after a vehicle became submerged at Cleethorpes.
A spokesperson for HM Coastguard said they were called to reports of a stranded 4x4 and two water scooters at the Lincolnshire resort at about 11:15 BST on Saturday.
It is believed the 4x4 remained stranded on Sunday evening, although the water scooters have since been recovered.
No-one was injured and the vehicle's owner were said to be liaising with the council to arrange recovery, the official said.
"We would advise against it [driving on to beaches], although we know there are certain places around the country where you can access beaches in a vehicle in order to launch Jet Skis," the official said.
They added vehicles can "become submerged quickly".
"It's unfortunate", the official added.
In May, a buggy belonging to North East Lincolnshire Council's Beach Safety Team got stuck while trying to help people at risk of being cut off by the tide.
