The pilot was landing on a remote tidal beach in a tricycle landing gear-equipped airplane.

During the landing rollout, the nose gear stuck in the sand, and the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper decision to land on an unsuitable landing surface which resulted in a nose over.
