Where to find sand?

I can't for the life of me find sand. I have gone to the ocean side and even swam underwater with no luck. Where do I find it?

look for  flat  beach like areas  along the shore

I go in the water with a spade and dig the sand there. Seems to be the place where the "yellow terrain" most likely is sand.

You can also find it on caves sometimes, if you don't want to deface your beaches, usually as patches on the walls / floor, sometimes under (or around) patches of Sulfur and such.

What I usually do, tho, is to locate a beach area, then dig a small spade-size square straight down further inland, where its dirt instead of sand, and then quarry it up from a tunnel going towards the ocean, under the water level, being very careful not to pierce the ocean floor which would probably flood the tunnel. Then when you're done its easy enough to cover up the starting hole manually with dirt. It takes some good eyeballing to avoid defacing the visible surface of the beaches. That's only a concern if you want to have pretty beaches tho

Sandstone > Inventory > Break = Sand and lots of it.
