Very surprised no one touched on how sand or the salt air can damaged devices like this.. The sand on one hand, in conjunction with the 10, 20, 30 MPH winds, acts just the sand paper or a media blaster.. Not only can the sand moving at nearly 30 MPH damage your screen, it can also be forced into your device USB port, block these ports and start the corrosion process due to exposure to the salt air. If salted sand has entered your device, over time and with the constant fluctuation in heat and humidity.. the salted sand can and will expand and contract. Not to mention the salt (once wet inside your device) can seep into your devices vital parts and create an electrical short etc.
