The vehicle had previously been reported stolen and the fire was being treated as suspicious.

Ainsley Ngamane had popped down the beach to enjoy the sunny morning and saw the car in the ocean.

"I was pretty shocked. [I] stayed to watch the guys drag it out with a tractor. Was an interesting morning for sure," she said.

Police said the investigation continued.
