Yea.  The sand gets EVERYWHERE!  Also when you get home give a good wash down the trailer and the frame to wash the salt off.

Other than that, Have fun.

Make sure you have some type of rug or carpet or something to help keep the sand out the the camper - like Dave said, the sand gets everywhere.

we're going camping this next week in Santa Barbara and we'll be right on the beach. in fact, our back bunk will out over the sand.
we use a plastic woven awning mat that lets the sand fall through and is very lightweight and easy to clean.
if you have an outside shower, they are very handy for cleaning sandy feet.

Whisk and dustpan... No matter HOW HARD you try to contain the sand, it's like a kid - it just WON'T pay attention.

We camp at the beach (Fort Desoto, Florida)  and lots of beach sand. 

We do several things.
1.  RV Mat (got it at walmart 9 x 12) it was $29

2. Have a piece of out door carpet by the step. (3 x 5) 

3. Bucket of water

We put down the big mat.  Put the smaller one by the door and step. Slide off shoes and step in bucket of water then on to the out door carpet.  And your feet are clean when you go inside.  I just cant go to sleep at night when my feet are dirty so this works well for us.

Keep a broom on the porch for quick sweeps.
