I recall an incident a number of years ago. Poor wx, a low time ppl landed a 172 on the beach. The company to save some $$$$ for a boat trip decided to fly a 206 in to drop a pilot for the recovery of the 172 (A pilot with MANY beach landings at the controls). Soft sand and the 206 nose wheel caused an expensive exercise. I would leave it to the experts, or get some good advice from someone who does it alot.
