What you don't say is which generation of VW; the rounded ones have enormous ground clearance and beach buggy suspension, the flying brick rear engined type 25 is virtually indestructible. The newer fwd can get stuck on with only one wheel off the tar when laden. I went dune bashing in Namib/SWAf in a hideously overloaded aircooled type 25 a while back great fun. If you only got stuck 3 times getting to NDB you're a better driver than some 4x4 owners. Go for it! Wait till the tide's out, take some boards and don't go too near the bus. Let us know how you get on.
happy trails
