There are different kinds of sands, and the better kinds are more desired and presumably more expensive to manufacture. Sarasota has sand that feels like a fine powder. It’s wonderful, and also quite limited. In fact there was a recent expensive reconstruction of a beach that was blown away quite quickly because the city didn’t believe the engineers saying it needed more support. Millions of dollars of prime sand lost. Cape Cod has sand that feels like rocks (and the water is ALWAYS cold, even in July!). Nobody would buy that.
