What does worry me is the sand that this belt might trap under the teeth of the chainring and cog. That could reduce the working life of those components.
Why does the left stay need to open?
Regarding sand, I don't see how a belt is worse than a chain. Lubricants trap some nasty stuff on a chain, especially the lubricants I use when conditions are nasty enough to catch lots of road grime in the drivetrain.
