    Not sure exactly what you need but they do sand yachting on Hoylake beach on the Wirral. That needs a long stretch of flat sand.

    Iv'e ridden along it on several times my cx bike can get up to 25 mph if the sand is in the right condition.

    Soft sand in places though but I only had 32mm tyres. Sand type & firmness seems to vary alot from day to day.
