I want a high ground clearance 4WD for beach driving (camping).
Also, need a large panoramic sunroof.
Anyone could recommend me a model?

Re: 4WD recommendation
High clearance 4x4's dont normally come with large panoramic sunroof. Body twist doesn't do nice things there.
Station wagons would be Nissan or Landcruisers.
Dual Cabs, Ford Ranger, Hilux (later models) etc
Also be aware that panoramic roofs let in a LOT of heat.
Beach driving doesn't normally require a lot of clearance. Just all terrains or road tires and low tire pressures. That now makes your choice wider. Pajeros etc etc
What vehicle have you seen that you like?
New or used?
Petrol or diesel?
etc

Re: 4WD recommendation
Early Discovery could potentially be modified with a sunroof in the back to give almost a panoramic view roof but as stated above torsion on the body through any significant body flex (even on sand) will not be your friend.
Best bet as above, anything with NO roof jeep, early Toyota 40 series, Suzuki, Land Rover, etc.

Re: 4WD recommendation
I wouldn't totaly discount a sof roader for beach use. I happened to see one of those audi things on Stockton beach last weekend. Complete with low profile tyres.
However another idea would be to speak to a body modification shop. With a body on chassis large 4wd I don't think it would be all that difficult to cut a section of the roof out and install a rubber mounted perspex sheet. Actually even with a monocoque it shouldn't be a problem, but you might find some shops to be reluctant.
Think about how many roofs are modified for camper conversions. On Troopies, but also Hiaces which are a monocoque construction.
