I haven't tried it on sand yet, but I have taken it over some bumpy surfaces and grates/etc and has done very well/very smooth!

I'm not sure. Sand could probably get caught between the wheels. I have never brought it to the beach before.

I just love this cart. I am afraid that I can't answer your question because I have not run it over sand. I have gone through both rough and fine gravel without a problem and it can go through mud pretty well too.

Don't know how well it would work in the sand as the tires are very narrow they're not big balloon tires they are large and controls easy and has lots room but I don't know in the sand how it would work hope that helps

Sorry to have a negative answer, but differently not. While the large wheels do make moving about smooth as possible on solid ground, or pavement. The tires are very narrow and would sink in the sand causing serious injury. I am not knowledgeable as to a device that could fit your, or your loved ones needs. I just read comments left by others.....I have to use an analogy that the tires are narrower than a bicycle, and there are four of them.As an able bodied person, I could not handle this rollator on sand.

I have and it worked great on the sand near the water but was difficult on the deep loose sand. However, much better than any other stroller- it still pushed through the deep stuff.

I have not used it on sand but it works fine through thick grass and dirt. I don't think firm sand would cause a problem. Loose sand I think would be difficult (for most wagons).

Never tried it on sand. Should be okay on packed sand. Think the bar through wheels would get stuck in soft sand.

The rear wheels are very large. The front wheels are small. You push it on sidewalks or walkways. You pull it through the loose sand. The large and wide wheels roll across sandy beaches easily. We have no regrets on our purchase.

I have loaded it with large ice chest, goodie bags, beach chairs, and a pop-up tent and all went well. The trick is NOT letting the front wheel drag when crossing the deep loose sand.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

Depends on how deep the sand is-on a regular beach, no I would not use it. We use it to haul around the 5th wheel camping etc. I think it would get bogged own in deep sand.

I couldn't compare it to the Wonder Wheeler since I haven't tried that one but the Beachcomber Wagon does a good job in the soft sand. Good luck.

I have the Bob and it has been great on the beach. The large wheels are what really make a difference.

They work pretty good. If the sand is real soft and fluffy it's a little more work, but this wagon is much better than any other I've tried for going through sand.

The wheels are rubber and it would travel over a gravel path easily. I love this cart. We have taken it to the beach and on picnics in the park and have never been disappointed in it's performance.

I suggest riding a mountain bike first. The front wheel is a mountain bike wheel and the back wheels would be easy to go over sand. My only concern is the front tire.
