Sand is tiny bits of stone that do not freeze. Water freezes. Antarctica is the driest continent on earth. So no, there is no frozen sand in Antarctica.

Do you find sand in antarctica?

Generally sand is found on beaches that are formed with rocks and minerals, especially with access to life, such as trees and coral sea animals. Sand is created by continued sea action. What is found on Antarctica's beaches is more aptly described as rubble, some volcanic, and is most often described as pebbles. The sea ice around the Antarctic continent freezes annually, minimizing sea action that produces particles as small as sand.
