Photos from yesterday show a small boat in the water close to the car.

This morning, police are at the scene and have cordoned off a section of the beach.

The vehicle is pictured half in the water.

Work is now underway to remove the car and a tow truck has arrived.

This is not the first time this has happened on Kent's beaches.

In April, a car ended up submerged in water after it was swallowed up by the sea at Whitstable.

Another car was lost to the sea at Dymchurch last summer.
