Can this bag pick up sand?

You're not going to find a bag that will hold sand. This will pick up small insects and pebbles though.

No just larger particles of debris. Good quality though I love this purchase!

No. The bag is intended for leaves. While picking up leaves you will get some grass clippings mixed with leaves, but you can't use it strictly for clippings due to the weight.

Most definitely!! It closes securely, so there is no way for sand to get in. However, be careful where you put it down. The velcro closure is on the bottom when the bag is filled and upright (don't know why the manufacturer put it there), so don't put it on anything that may snag. For example, when I fill it with groceries and place it in the trunk upright, it stays and doesn't move while I'm driving, but when I pick it up, it does pull on the rug in my trunk. Other than that, it is a great bag to store stuff in! Hope this helps!

I found it picked up sand anything smaller just went right through the fine mesh bag.

Uhm that depends on what kind of sand. I have noticed that on the FL beaches (softer sand) the mesh bag does get sand in it, but on CT beaches (harder sand) it doesn't get in the bag that much. That being said I would NOT trade this bag for anything no matter what kind of beach sand. It's very easy to shake the sand out of it and I really have not noticed it in the towels that are not used or anything I put in the side pockets electronics included. Again I state I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bag for any beach "bum" or day tripper!!!!!

The bag is referred to as being 'fine' which means closer to 2 microns. It will pick up algae, sand and debris.

I bought the pond vac to remove dead "sludge" from the bottom of my water garden ponds. It will certainly pick up sand. I must admit though,that the vacuum power requires constant "tickling" to maintain the vacuum power (the placement of the vacuum has to be ideally below the pond level being vacuumed.

We use it only for light cleaning, but I believe that the unit was not design for picking up sand, just an opinion...

The sand/silt filter bag is very effective, but if you are really concerned, you can also order microfilter socks inside the sand/silt bag. Whenever we use it to pick up sand, we are pleasantly surprised by how effective it is. The sand/silt bag is even able to filter pollen.

Perfect for that purpose. Top and bottom both zip off to make it easy to shake out sand. Comes with a storage bag to transport in, but have trouble fitting it back in bag because it has to be folded in just the right way to fit. It folds nearly flat, so we don't bother with the bag.

no but there is a little dust collection bag which would pick up some of the dust.

No the sand does not stick to it easily and can be brushed off easily. It was a nice inexpensive bag for us to take to the Dominican Republic.

I'm afraid it would just push it around. There is no suction. You can use a swifter pad or a microfiber cloth. I don't think with one would grab sand very well.

Yes. There are pockets that are made to be filled with sand (or whatever is available) to weigh it down and keep it in place.

It works well with dirt and mud, so I'd assume it also works for sand. No sand here.....
