No pure white sand usually doesn't have metal in it only small grains of quartz, but the best way to find out would be test it.
However some sand contains black magnetic iron oxide particles (AKA Iron(II,III) oxide, (Fe3O4) ferrous ferric oxide, magnetite, lodestone). These sand grains would be attracted to a magnet

What is the magnetic field of a black hole?

What is the formation of black sand in the pacific coast?
Black volcanic rock eroded over time makes black sand.
Why sand can combined with magnet?
Iron is one of the most common substances on earth. If the sand is rich in iron (or other magnetic particles), then it will be attracted to a magnet.
Do black holes have a magnetic charge?
A black hole can have an electric charge if it swallows electrically charged objects, but no objects that we know of have magnetic charge. Magnets always have both a north pole and a south pole; there is no evidence that one can exist alone. A lone north or south pole would be called a magnetic monopole, and would have magnetic charge. If we discovered a magnetic monopole and fed it to a black hole then the black hole would gain the magnetic charge.
What activities can be done in magnetic sand beaches?
Magnetic sand, which is black in color, is usually the result of volanic activity. It is often very fine, and can sometimes be course. Assuming that the volcanic activity that created the magnetic sand is not active at the time, visitors to a magnetic sand beach should be able to partake in the same activities as they would on any other beach.
Is sand a non ferro magnetic or not?
Sand should not be ferromagnetic

Where is black sand?
Black sand is sand that's been turned a black color either by a glossy partly-magnetic mix of sands (usually fine), or by tiny fragments of lava.Some gold and white beaches can also contain black sand, typically after storms have sorted out grains where heavier, darker particles remain on the surface.There are many black sand beaches around the world. Prince William Sound, in Alaska, and Lost Coast, California, both have black sand beaches named Black Sand Beach. Hawaii has Kehena Beach, Oneuli Beach, Polulu Valley Beach and Kaimu Beach. Maui hosts Oneuli Beach, Honokalani Black Sand Beach and Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach. Finally, Vik Beach in Iceland has some breathtakingly blue water surrounded by eroded rock formations beyond a beach of black sand.For more black sand beaches, try a Web or Image search on Google or your favorite search engine for black sand beach. You'll be stunned by some of the amazing photos.
Is rare black sand found in Guyana?
No, Guyana has a white sand belt, but no black sand.
Why do Caribbean beaches have black sand?
The beaches with black sand are volcanic in origin.
Does cement have magnetic particles in it?
