Hi Fred,
consider that sand is'nt so soft as along tipical dune crossing... only Azefal dunes are really sandy but, no crossing there, only some little passages between them in the "gassi", and for feew kms.
Beach piste is absolutely hard terrain, at least enough to be able to drive also with inflates tires.
The main item is that:
as uKKed said, the tamrac is faster and safer... and noone (apart from feew tourists) travel off road now.
It means that you've to be convinced to be alone, even in Banc d'Arguin NP where entrance points from North are obsolete and unvisible (you'll pay tickets only in Nouamghar, when you exit to start the beach piste)...
BTW, if you use gps with garmin Mapsouce installed, you could see the old internal piste -> now is quite the tamrac ;-) and in any time you turn left (EAST) you'll reach it after not so much kms.
There is an entrance point to Banc d'Arguin just from the tamrac (a big white panel with blue words) but, is really totally sandy, absolutely faboulous but you'll cross completely Azefal Dunes, untill the sea (Straight forward CAP 90 untill water ;-) )
Enjoy!
