Do you guys ever actually ride on the beach?
Sand is a pain. Gentle freshwater rinse and blow dry after every ride. Don't splash across streams/water. Some sand & chain grinding happens. Good fenders and a front fender flap would eliminate much of sand issues. I expect chain to be toast after 1000 miles and likely the lower 4 big rear rings and small front as that's where I spend most my time when on sand.
