My prefered sand scoop. $1 at most dollar stores, $2.99 at Canadian Tire And you can use it on your kitty litter too! Attachments:

Just in case anyone wonders about trying the same thing...I tried to use a regular kitchen sieve at the beach and found the holes were not big enough for the sand to go through.
I like the idea of the kitty litter scoop!

You can also go with the metal feed scoops (2 and 4 quart sizes, $10 and $13)

Home Hardware carries the plastic ones, if they don't have it in stock they will order one in. Just call and check, if they don't have it, ask to order one. They will call you when it comes in. The metal one is also at Home Hardware.

Here's another option, I saw some Australian guys using one on a beach and it seemed to work pretty good. Grain Scoop Again, just drill a grid of 5/8" holes in the back half of the shovel.

Got the plastic one from HH on George street (1 left), attempted to make "nice straight and even" 5/8 holes but I'll just call them ...holes! Ugly as heck but I got myself a scoop.
Wife says I shouldn't brag about my workmanship!
