Is it walk on sand or walk on the sand in general contexts? For example: I like walking on (the) sand on sunny days. And another example: You could throw the weapon in (the?) sand and nothing would happen to it. Does 'the' belong in these sentences?
thank you

Use no article for a general context. If there is a beach nearby, use 'the'.
