Will be there on Saturday, ridden there for yeaaaars and still finding new tracks haha.

Best advice I can give you is the faster you go, the easier it is to control your bike

like my papi said, go over it rather than thru it (the sand)
I grew up riding on sand, it can be a drag if you get stuck, especially on a hot day! Am going up to Pouto this weekend, heaps of sand there! Real, deep sand, swallow you whole...

Been said many times, Keep yer weight as far back as possible and give it stick.

Throw an oldish chain on if you have one.

And if you are on the beach at low tide, and the sky is reflecting of a nice film of water...beware, that film of water can hide substantial pot holes...I speak from painful experience.
