I'm sure you don't want to hear from me, but my dad actually has a big, white astro van. I always rip on him jokingly because all his buddies are driving Suburbans, etc. and the astro is a bit dorky... But he got sick of spending so much cash, and the astro is a great tow vehicle and its alot cheaper than a new 4x4. Its also sweet to ride in because of all the space. I have a jeep cherokee and its got no space... of course, the toddler car seat takes up alot of room.
But my dad lives in PA and fishes for bass of the largemouth and smallmouth variety on a boat. I think John's right about the clearance issue. You would really struggle in soft sand and if you're getting a beach buggy, you'd hate to be limited to certain beaches with packed sand.
