sandy beaches

Grainy coastal stretches

Sandy beaches are shorelines covered with sand rather than rocks, pebbles, or other materials.

The phrase typically evokes vacation destinations and leisure: We spent the week on the sandy beaches of Hawaii.

Often used in travel marketing and real estate listings to signal desirable coastal locations.
