How do you keep beach sand clean?
How do you keep beach sand clean? Sterilize beach sand by baking it. Drain as much water as possible, then transfer the beach sand to baking sheets. Set your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) and bake the sand for 45 minutes to sanitize it. Beach sand is home to lots of microscopic lifeforms.
What causes beaches to wash away?
The erosive forces of waves, storms, and rising sea levels do not disappear after nourishment takes place. Waves will continue to “chew on” the sand, and eventually it erodes away, moving down the coast and offshore.
What to do with sand from vacation?
If you have sand from a beach that you want to save, layer it with some pretty shells inside a mason jar or decorative vase. Then use a votive candle to create a candle holder. It's super easy to make and it's a great addition to any beach theme party or home decor.
