White sand is the fine, light-colored sand you will find at many ocean beaches, primarily made of limestone. For many landscaping and outdoor uses, white sand is the premium choice. White sand has smaller and finer granules. It is also a brighter color and has a more uniform appearance making it ideal for sandboxes or play areas, or anywhere people will be walking with bare feet. It can also be used for many landscaping projects where top-quality sand is needed for the best results.
