Nope. For those events, they actually bring river sand to the beach. Beach sand, like desert sand, is useless for sculpting - and for use in concrete, too. It simply is too round, while river sand is more ragged and edgy.

That's also why those ultra-rich desert sheikdoms have to import sand for building their skyscapers, despite basically living in a big sandbox.
