Specializing in beach finds - sorry no barns there.
Looks like a hotel limo type car. Got washed out in a hurricane and buried.

Caption said Pontiac station wagon. Washed out in one storm brought back by the next?

That is a Pontiac nose. The photo just made the car look longer to me. I can't think it was driven to the beach, got stuck and left and not towed out. Perhaps it got left and covered by a storm and remained like that for decades. Finally uncovered by another storm.
We used to vacation on the North Carolina Outer Banks in the 1970s and after a storm, there was checking and documenting all the damage and seeing what washed up or was uncovered. That area is called "The Graveyard of the Atlantic". A few times after a storm, the remains of a ship would be uncovered or partially uncovered. So the historians would be out to attempt to figure out what ship it was. One summer we were down and laying near the place we stayed was the remains of a WWII troop ship like you saw Capt Miller (Tom Hanks) and team use to reach Normandy beach. It wasn't there the prior year. Well it was, either covered by sand or it was 50 yards offshore and the storm moved it inland. Sometime after the war there was a tug pulling a few of them someplace and lost the tow rope and all the ships sunk or washed elsewhere.
Looks like a '64 full-size Pontiac wagon (Catalina or Bonneville Safari) to me.
Rough condition after 50 years buried under the ocean, but the polyvinyl chloride turquoise-green LR inner door panel survives!
