Cycling's great out there. As others have noted, folks and services quite bike-friendly. Balmy weather dehydrates you quicky.

Only if you choose to do it. Mind, it never hurts to keep a clean chain in sandy conditions.
I just HAD to see Chappaquiddik Bridge [site of Bobby Kennedy's "Adventures in Water Sports" awhile back] and it's a ways back a sandy road. Ruined a rear derailleur with sand in the pulley wheels.
