While on the subject of sand my wish-list extends to:

beach (n)

coast/shore (n)

We already have beach: bIQ'a' HeH. This will often work for coast or shore as well; the phrase bIQ'a' HeH doesn't show us the difference between those and beach. If I wanted to contrast an actual beach and some non-beach shoreline, I might struggle with describing a sandy beach shore and a non-sandy beach shore.
