Sand is so confusing. I go to one beach and it’s soft sand I go five minutes down the road and is angry sand full of broken shells and hurts my feet, I go to the other side of the country and it’s made of rocks and no sand. I look at photos of the Sahara desert and there is lots of sand and no sea! How does the sand decide where to go?
Also if I brought my digger to the beach and made a big hole would there be dirt under the sand?

It all depends on when the sand was made; ocean currents; costal topography
Believe it or not; not every piece of coast is the same age; expierences the same wave intensity/frequency and ocean live.
