Yes. While a vehicle with AWD doesn't enjoy the added benefit of having high and low range gears as a normal 4x4 vehicle does, for most purposes, it will do fine - especially in less tricky off-road situations like sand. Try to stick to driving on hard sand where possible, and remember that maintaining a constant, slower speed is the best way to drive in sand. Stopping in softer sand can make starting back up again tougher. Likewise, driving too quickly in sand can make the going tough, and the handling a little less predictable.

Is AWD good in snow conditions?
All Wheel Drive allows vehicles to have four contact patches (where the tire meets the ground) providing power during driving as opposed to just two. Uphill situations from a standing start (ie, red light) will often have two wheel drive vehicles (FWD or RWD) scrambling for traction in wet/cold conditions, but a vehicle with AWD will simply apply power to the wheels with more traction. In slippery conditions (sand, water, snow, ice, etc), a vehicle may be able to pull itself along using just one wheel. AWD will not bend the laws of physics - just because an AWD equipped vehicle can accelerate and turn better in slippery conditions does not necessarily mean it will stop better. Good driving and common sense come into play.
