I run on sand when I do either of the beach loops from my parents' house.
There's sand and there's sand. It's always hard work, but not as hard as, say, thick mud (also a feature of my local off road routes). Packed wet sand is okay to run on and provides some cushioning, so is better for the joints even if it's slower. Dry, loose sand, however, is a bugger.
