They use the same systems they use in the snow: remotely controlled beacons, buried in the sand. Works great. For probing, they just use wooden poles (1 cm in diameter), instead of metal/carbon probes. They would just rust and break in the tough sand. They teach digging strategies too. Here are some pictures from the 2019 event. The last one I attended personally.

I would love to see this in MI too! I have noplace to practice locally and none of my local friends have beacons. I've thought about buying an old beacon on ebay just to practice with.
