    Sand is worse than water!
    Don't try to open the camera up.
    Send it off to have it professionally cleaned.
    If you're in Dublin, look up ISS.

    I've had sand in a lens before, and it was horrible. I could hear the USM motor grind on the sand.

    Had to send it in to be serviced and cleaned.

    Well worth getting it done properly.
