Just out of curiosity, are there ever sand storms ON BEACHES?

Question

I know this is a naive question.

But it doesn't hurt to ask just to be sure.

Do the proximity of the ocean and the desert temperatures influence on the harshness of the winds?

Answer 1

Yes there are sandstorms on beaches. They are usually minor in nature, so not really classified as such. Both temperature and oceanic proximity, will influence wind factors.

Answer 2

No. There are no sandstorms on beaches. The sand is too moist to be carried by wind in the way dry desert sand can be.
