I second Steve's observation that sand can hurt. I'd much rather have my helmet scraping against sand than have sand enlarging my bald spot. Besides, even if nature intends a beach to be completely sandy, you never know what man-made object, such as a glass bottle, might fall off a boat or get washed into the surf from the beach. And helmets make you look cool.
