Wave action creates sand along oceans and large lakes. Wind action does the
same in deserts. Then the wind moves the sand down-wind in drifts. I am
guessing that you see little sand along the shore because the wind action is
very efficient at moving the sand away.
At Pismo beach, central CA, there is a VERY fine sand that gets everywhere,
not like regular beach sand. This is sand made smaller by the action of
100,000's of vehicles roaring around on it. Away from vehicle action it
isn't so fine. The dunes extend eastward about a 1/2 mile to a mile. I think
so much sand is created there because the ocean floor is not steep at all. A
very mild grade, you can wade out quite a ways. This gives more area being
worked over by the wave action.
After a weekend there on motorcycles/quads/4x4s I get sand behind my
eyeballs. Only way I have found to get it out is to pull the skin/eye-lids
away from my eyeballs and spray the shower in there.
