Sand should not be ferromagnetic
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.

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
Silicon.
it depends on the sand or agregate that is being used.
the magnetic crustaceanal part of the sand is the bit that animals use to make homes namely sand bugs and insects

You use a magnet because iron fillings are magnetic.
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.
If this happens, it means that the iron contained in the sand will orient itself along the magnetic field lines.
Magnetic Attraction:). Did u mean iron fillings?
