A video of a vehicle driving in the water at a popular southern beach has emerged online, showing the car driving erratically in the shallows before doing doughnuts in the sand.

The video, shared by South Aussie with Cosi’s social media pages, shows a small 4WD driving dangerously on the beach at Aldinga.

In the footage, the car is seen driving in and out of the water near the boundary between Aldinga Beach and Silver Sands, and performing doughnuts in the sand.

A pedestrian is also seen standing near the vehicle as it spins around, before getting in the car.

Outraged viewers took to the comment section on social media to express their disappointment at the behaviour.

“Destroying the car is one thing, but this is the behaviour of flogs that get our good beaches closed off to vehicle access,” one person said.

“Total disrespect for the beach,” said another.

One man who has lived in the area all his life said he’d “seen it all go wrong” many times.

“Close calls with people or animals on the beach. As usual the minority will wreck it for everyone.”
