I don't like walking and/or sleeping on the sand

[Winwin2011]

1. I don't like walking and sleeping on the sand.
2. I don't like walking or sleeping on the sand.

Are the above sentences both correct?

Thanks.

Yes, although the first one suggests that you are treating "walking and sleeping on the sand" as one activity, which would be quite difficult unless you sleepwalk.

They are both extremely unlikely. (They are grammatical)

Is the following sentence likely?

I don't like eating and smelling onions. (Some people think onions have a strong smell.)

Is it more natural to say "I don't like eating or smelling onions"?

Thanks.

No. Far more likely would be, "I don't like the taste or the smell of onions".

On the sand- this would refer to particular sand. If you're talking in general then remove the article.
