I am going away to Woolacombe in devon next week and don't want to stop training. Does anyone know how Woolacombe beach is for running along, the general benefits of running on sand too? Should I wear running shoes (brooks defyance 3 or nike free run)? or go barefoot? Are there any specific workouts that are particularly good on sand?

Thanks everyone

Blimey, it's been a few years since I was at uni in that neck of the woods so I don't remember anything specific about the beach but I did join the 'Out of Doors Society' for a very nice walk from Woolacombe to Ilfracombe (8 miles), so if the beach is no-go, there are definitely off-road path options.
