beach people....lettuce talk wagons

Last year for our trip to the beach I thought I had it figured out. The kids have one of those "off road" radio flyer wagons with the pneumatic tires. I took it to load all of our stuff in when we went to the beach. It was better in theory than practice. It still bit the big one. The tires sunk of course and the handle was so short that I ended up just lifting the front end off the ground and dragging it back and forth that way. It doesn't help that we carry 589 pounds of stuff with us but I'm not going to the beach without a cooler of beer.

Anyone have any really good wagons they use on the beach that don't sink like a rock?

    My bro in law uses the cheap plastic wagon with a longer handle.. Those plastic wheels actually do well in the sand....

    just looking online at the different wagons I can't believe the money they're asking for a simple wagon with wide tires. I'm wondering if I can't weld longer hubs onto our current wagon and make it a dually front and back and then put a longer handle on it? Seems to me that would go a long ways to keeping it on top of the sand.
