Well its the holidays and i'm going down to the Outer Banks NC! well.. last year i rented a bike to ride on the beach

so i wouldn't ruin my bike lol. Next week when i go down i plan to bring my bike down and use it, and suggestions/precautions? I have Avid Disc's so i'm not to concerned about braking. On past trips to the river near my house alot of sand has gotten in the crank/bottom braket, is there a way to prevent this of the grinding noise? Thanks and happy holidays
