Radiation heats the sand, but the direct contact transfer of this energy to the bare foot is conduction.

∙ 8y agoHeat is transferred by a process called conduction when you step on hot sand. The sun warms up the sand and as you walk across a beach on a hot day, the sand acts as a conductor of heat, gradually warming up throughout the day. Depending on the time of day, intensity of the sun and the temperature will affect how hot the sand is and how quickly the heat is conducted to your foot.

Will sand hold heat?
Sand is not as good a conductor as something more solid like glass because it is composed of tiny granules that are separated by air.
