Default sandy beach giving problems

I flew my seamaster twin from a sandy beach just once (one outing, three flights), and since then I have had problems with sand or grit getting into my carb barrels and cause binding. I flew off the beach about 9 flights ago and then 4 flights ago I had to clean out the carbs because of the grit, then in 4 more flights I had the grit back again. Does anybody have sand problems with thier carbs and what do you do about it or how do you prevent sand from sticking to the barrel of the carb.
