NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that, while landing on a beach, he "felt a significant push to the right toward the water and was concerned with going into the water" ... He added that he initiated a go-around, but the nose wheel "caught and apparently broke off".

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's decision to land on unsuitable terrain, which resulted in the nosewheel breaking and a subsequent noseover.
