through the beaches?

[bieasy]

Hi,

Can I say: We drove from XX to YY through the beaches. XX and YY are cities. I mean instead of taking asphalted roads we traveled exlusively on the beaches.

I'd say drive along.

I wouldn't say through the beaches; I'd say "we drove from X to Y on the beaches".
And another thing, why are you driving on beaches?

I would say "We drove along the beach from XXX to YYY". I am curious as to where there is somewhere that you can drive from one city to another by driving on sand.

We used to be able to do that, at least part of the way, in Oman, and I do mean beaches, not desert.

In Brazil. From Natal to Fortaleza, 550 km, however only 70% of the route is on /along the beaches. The other 30% are on asfalted or dirt roads due to the cliffs and rocks by the sea.
