Sand (Beach)
Applications & Uses
Beach sand is a naturally occurring aggregate known for its fine, soft texture and light color. Sourced from coastal environments, this sand is typically well-rounded and free of sharp edges, making it comfortable underfoot and visually appealing.
The fine, smooth grains of beach sand are ideal for projects where a gentle, barefoot-friendly surface is desired. Its natural composition and texture make it a popular choice for playgrounds, volleyball courts, landscaping, and decorative features in both residential and commercial settings. Beach sand is also used in sandboxes and as a top layer for artificial beaches or pool surrounds.
One of the main advantages of beach sand is its excellent drainage and ease of leveling, though its loose nature means it does not compact well, making it less suitable for structural base layers. Its clean, dust-free quality enhances safety and comfort, especially in recreational areas.
