That's almost the only place I've flown mine, since mid November. No problems. I keep it out of the ocean but otherwise nothing special.

Wipe it down with a damp cloth when you are finished. Avoid sand. Avoid trying to land it in the water. Do not use sunscreen on your drone.

Do not taunt happy fun ball.

And handcatch!

Remember... salt, water & sand are all your enemies.

Now you must know better than asking if RUST will be a problem... tell me your joking....

I normally takeoff and land on the beach. I don't have sand or salt problems. Seems an excessive concern, but then I don't roll the thing around in the sand either.

There are steel components; electronic circuit boards; the motor housings and all those steel screws that may or may not be stainless steel... Don't think he meant the plastic....
