I can see how this might happen in a remote desert somewhere, winds, shifting sands, no one around ...but a beach? Just tides...to swallow a large plane??
Sounds strange to me.

I'm guessing here but the plane probably crashed at sea just off the beach, I assume this is one of those places were you get the opposite of coastal erosion. More and more silt, sand and rocks get washed on the beach overtime forcing the tide further out effectively re claiming land from the sea. Hence the P38 is now effectively buried on land.
