While they may have been used at holiday resorts, I don't believe that was necessarily the manufacturer's intention.

Not an intended purpose. These were primarily marketed to the public for personal use.

Yes, its primary purpose is entertainment

I think I understood your use of the term "entertainment" in a broader sense than you intended. A more specific term to describe this vehicle's primary purpose would be "recreation."

Beach car ?

No, but this is much more closely aligned with the vehicle's actual purpose than for use in movies, television and theme parks.

By the way, Reply #16 may seem like a rambling, circuitous response to a simple question, but look again.

Not a kid's car (see Reply #11) and not built in Hawaii.
