sandproof

Resists beach particles

Sandproof describes something designed or constructed to keep sand out.

The term appears most often for electronics, watches, or gear meant for beach or desert environments: a sandproof camera case, sandproof phone.

Like waterproof or dustproof, it promises protection against intrusion by fine particles.
