Having been through this sort of thing before...

1: Call the insurer
2:  Hire and guard to protect the boat.
3: A trench is dug at low water down to the water.
4: Boat is manhandled into trench
5:  Anchor is taken out and dropped off shore
6: As tide comes in boat (with aid of a tow boat) and anchor is
winched/towed down the beach.

It's very traumatic but generally the resulting damage is not that severe.

It's  difficult with a fin keel boat like this   Some times a crane is
needed..
