The commercial certificated pilot was landing a tundra tire-equipped airplane on the beach of a remote island. The pilot reported that he landed to the southwest, and during the landing roll, the tires encountered soft sand. The airplane nosed over about 350 to 400 feet after touchdown, and received structural damage to the vertical stabilizer and the rudder.
Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing which resulted in a nose over during the landing roll. A factor contribuiting to the accident was the presence of soft sand.
