A while later a woman said she witnessed the car being towed up the beach away from the water.

"Car has just been retrieved - has been towed up the beach - don't think it's driveable," said the woman.

On seeing the images some people left comments on social media.

"Wrong place for the Park and Ride for the Open in Portrush," joked one man.

"God love the owner of that car - probably out for a nice walk on the beach and then to arrive back at this - they have my sympathies," added a woman.
