    sand of the beach is bagged for hurricanes. people take sand home all the time. I have taken five gallon buckets at a time for the sandbox in the back yard in a previous house. Never used for the tank due too pollutants in the sand on the shore. Remember that dogs play on the beach as well as kids, many jet skis, boats etc spewing fuel in the water. it would have to be washed very well before you can use it in a tank. it take much more effort that just buying a bag.
