Sand will do that to ANY rig under the right conditions. A winch definitely would have helped. I've righted a snow bogged transit bus onto the road using my front winch hooked to the bus and my rear winch pulling at the same time hooked up to a telephone pole. Winch and pullpal is the best investment if you're doing things like beach bombing. It does all the work and it's cheaper to replace if it were to break down.
