I would also be intersted to know what to do in that situation.

I would say, first off to put some type of filter in front of the lens. For the whole lens you could maybe wrap lens with ?siren wrap? or put a zip lock bag around the lens to keep the sand out. This is only a suggestion, as I never try it before.
Hope this helps,

Kevin has the right idea. I have used a plastic bag over the entire camera, with a hole just big enough for the front of the lens to fit through. With a filter on the front and a couple of rubber bands to hold the plastic secure, I didn't have a single problem. I did, of course, have to clean the filter, but no lens damage.

A bread bag works well, as it's already long and skinny. If your camera is a pro camera or one with a battery pack, it may be a little too tall for the bread bag to fit over.
If you wanted to be really picky, you could fold the bag over the front of the lens and screw the filter over the bag, then cut away the excess, but the rubber band idea is probably better.
