Yes, because sand is just a bunch of particles mixed together.
A liquid, gas, or solid will appear to be so down to a molecular level. If you look at water through a microscope, it will look like water until you can distinguish individual molecules. Even then, we will know we are looking at a single water molecule, which has predictable properties regarding change of state. It is still a liquid under normal temps. Sand will look solid, no matter how close you look at it, down to a molecular level. A beach is just a bunch of solid particles piles together.
Sand can also be melted and turned into liquid, like making glass. This requires heat and pressure. In our normal atmosphere, quartz is in its solid form. Thus the REAL answer is that all matter in the universe can be wither solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.

Can a solid grain of sand cannot be squashed?
no
Is sand matter?
Well if you can usually hold it in your hand, and you feel weight, then its either a solid or a liquid. But sand doesn't just flow all over the room so it's obviously a liquid......... >.< I'm just kidding it's a solid
Why is it difficult to walk on sand if you are wearing pointed heels as compared to flat shoes?
Because flat shoes have a much wider base than pointed heels so they spread your weight out more, to you walk more on top of the sand, like snowshoes. Whereas pointed heels have a very narrow base that causes you to sink into the sand a bit more, making it a little like walking in quicksand.
What state of matter is characterized by having a definite shape and a definite volume?
The state of matter is actually to states of matter. Solid and liquid are the states of matter that have a volume,(liquid) and shape(solid).
Can sand sublime?
Yes. Like any solid it can sublime - but the rate of sublimation under normal conditions is so low that you would not expect to see any significant change in the mass of a grain of sand during your lifetime - or for that matter during the lifetime of the human race...
