Depends entirely on where you're at. Our coastal beaches are pure white and sound like popcorn (fish eating) when you're underwater near coral.

The beaches along the rivers can be brown sand, washed down as you say, but some are pebbles instead. Never understood how two rivers so close together ended up with such different beaches.
