What a neap tide low or high?

No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.

Is low tide when you can get on the sand?

Yes. Low tide is the time when there height of the water in the sea is low. High tide is the term for when the height of the water in the sea is high. This is a local effect and does not indicate a change in the level of the waters of the whole world, but only the fact that they have moved away for a period of time. Low and High tide only strictly refer to the water height of the oceans and seas. To some extent rivers that are effected by the height of the sea, but not to lakes, dams or other water bodies that vary in height for reasons other than astronomical effects.
