You could do what houseboaters do. Get 2 poly lines...not particularly heavy. Beach the boat & run a line at an angle from each of the stern cleats to the shore and tie off to a tree or whatever. In your case with a pontoon you might get by with driving a metal stakes in the beach and tying off to them. I'd say you'll need at least 50 feet of line on each side to do the trick. This is a great job for a couple of bikini clad first mates while you keep the boat stable :-)

The anchor scheme doesn't work well because the constant shifting back and forth will tend to work it loose... or more likely your bow will get pulled off the shore.
