Sandy beaches

Beaches whose reference text describes a sand surface. Sand can still be coarse, dark or mixed with pebbles, so open the profile before assuming a soft, pale shore.

How beaches are included: Included when the reference text for the beach mentions sand. A beach without that mention is not ruled out as sandy; it is simply not documented here yet.
