I hope that's some kind of hardpan sand, not the soft stuff at the beaches I go to. Or that those vehicles are all amphibious. That picture makes me feel very anxious.

Just looking at how little the semi sunk into the sand, I would guess it is pretty hard. As long as they don't get too crazy I dont think driving back out would be an issue at all.

I drove on a beach once. It was fine. Easy going. Beautiful. Exhilarating. Until, abruptly, the tires sunk in and it wasn't. Once they sink in, even just a little bit, it is extremely difficult to get out. It was one of the stupider things I have ever done. I've never done it again.

Oh I know how difficult sand can be. Especially for people unfamiliar with it. Any sudden acceleration, braking, or turning and you can bury your vehicle. Takes a lot of finesse. That sand looks fairly consistent though, and based on other comments is frequently driven on. So as long as the water doesn't come up that far it should be well packed and easy to drive on.

It is likely on Rømø, they have big beaches where you can officially drive on. Which is not that common here in northern Europe.

2-3km wide to put a number on it.
