You posted virtually the same thing on page 4, in December of 2018. I hope that was on purpose.

The white sand goes down to at least Sarasota. I lived there. The sand never gets hot

Aside from its sheer beauty, this powdery sand has a few other benefits. First of all, it packs well, making it perfect for sandcastle-building, beach volleyball, and jogging. Secondly, it never gets hot enough to burn the bottom of your feet on the way back to your Siesta Key vacation condo.
I'll say again. It doesn't get hot. Lived there for three years.

San Diego beaches' sand gets incredibly hot, even with cooler air temps. Not fun w/bare feet. It's night & day difference between there and the sand on the FL panhandle.

here's a weird fact for you baws bickering over beach material temperatures, sand is a reference to grainsize, not material, which has a lot to with heat retention/dispersal

During the early days of WW2 when the bulk of the German Army was in Poland, France started an offensive in the Saarland but pulled back after Britain refused to join, fearing a trap and preferring going on the defense.
After the war during the Nuremberg trials the allies found out:

At the Nuremberg Trials, German military commander Alfred Jodl said that "if we did not collapse already in the year 1939 that was due only to the fact that during the Polish campaign, the approximately 110 French and British divisions in the West were held completely inactive against the 23 German divisions."[12] General Siegfried Westphal stated that if the French had attacked in full force in September 1939 the German army "could only have held out for one or two weeks."[13]

Yes, it most certainly does get hot. I walk on it every day.
Edited: I saw the clarification that it doesn’t burn your feet and it’s cooler than sand at other beaches. I’ll concede that. Still gets hot!

If you circle the world with a rope near its equator, and then try and circle the world with a rope one inch off its surface at the equator....the difference between those ropes is only like six inches in length.
A similar question was posed by Neal Boortz a few years ago:
If you had a rope that was one mile in length greater than the circumference of the earth and you suspended it around the earth at the equator, would a person be able to walk upright beneath it?
By my math, there should be plenty of room since the rope would be suspended 840 feet above the ground.
