How long are these pegs and how would they fair in beach sand and 30 knot winds

In sand tie the rope in the center of the peg and bury the pegs tightly in the sand lengthwise (make a T shape with the rope and stake) and they'll work wonderfully

Probably depends where on the beach you're pitching. When I floated Desolation Canyon, over half of my tent sites were on sand, and I was surprised by how well they held. But if you're on loose dune sand, you'll probably need deadmen.

They're only about 8 inches long at best, and though they are bomber stakes in solid ground, I just don't think they're long enough for something loose like sand, especially not in that kind of wind.
