Insolation

The effect of direct exposure of sandy beach to the sunlight may not create any problem as the surface sand particles act as an effective barrier to the temperature effect and deep layer of sandy substratum is not affected by high temperature. As the sandy shore animals are able to burry deeply into the bottom, they are not affected by the problem of insolation, which lead to desiccation of the animals.
