The woman, from Lindfield, managed to get her Volkswagen Beetle stuck on the Shelly Beach Boat Ramp.

It came just 10 days after a sunset viewing went horribly wrong for 25-year-old William He, who drove his friends Mercedes-Benz on to Dee Why Beach.

He was left “frustrated” and “embarrassed” after driving along the beach to drop supplies off before getting the $67,000 GLA 4MATIC Mercedes stuck.

And it appears that cars in, or near, the water has become a common theme near the northern beaches waterways.

Also last month, at a Bayview boat ramp in Rowland Reserve, a runaway huntsman caused a young woman to panic, leap out of her car only to watch it sweep into the ocean.
