Two cops have been forced to ask tourists to help them get their Toyota Camry out of trouble after getting bogged at a popular Western Australia beach.

Beachgoers at Wharton Beach in the state's stunning Esperance region watched as the police officers desperately tried to free their two-wheel-drive car from the pristine white sand.

Luckily for the embarrassed officers, a white four-wheel drive with a canoe on its roof rack was more than happy to provide a helping hand, towing the bogged cop car out of danger.

Wharton Beach is popular with 4WD owners with drivers able to park right next to the water's edge if they have an appropriate car. 

The video of the cops, posted to Bogged, quickly went viral with the police officers unanimously blasted for trying to drive their suburban sedan onto the sand.
