sand heats up faster then water for a few reasons
one solids like rock which sand is has molecules closer together which means they begin knocking into each other faster then liquids whose molecules are more loosely bonded and air which has the most widespread molecules and is the hardest to heat.
the second reason is because as the water is heated by the sunlight it also evaporates as the water evaporates it draws energy away from the water that energy is heat and it causes a cooling effect on the water which is why water usually seems to be cooler then the air and ground.
