I would recommend dropping presure to 18psi before you venture onto the sand ,if you should get stuck you can then let another 8psi out , but be very carefull at that lower presure that you dont go making any sharp turns at any speed or you will pull the tyre off the bead.

take a shovel and a few ~2m lengths of light weight timber (i used to use some fascia board)

you can dig yourself out to an extent, then use the timber to get some tgraction under your wheels and get you moving again.
