Sandy soils "handle" rain better than clay soils, because the water tends to soak into the sand whereas it does not penetrate the clay so easilly and therefore runs away into the rivers.
Coarse sand is the best for allowing water to penetrate. The larger the aggregate, the faster the water will pass thru. Sand that does not usually have much biological material in it, tends not to soak up and slow down the filtration process.

If the sand dollar is living and if the dead one has not lost all the soft tissues yet, leave the snad dollar in sun for a few days. Then with a hard bristle clean them from debris and sand stuck to them. If your sand dollar is not bright enough, put them in a solution of chlorine bleach for some times and then rinse in fresh water. Do not allow it to soak in chlorine bleach for long as it may soften and disintegrate. Your sand dollar is ready for display or for any craft work.
