    No, you don't need a mask on your beach walk. That's because you are
    talking about sand, which has been rounded by the very action that
    makes it sand. It's not minute shards with fresh raw edges, it's more
    like what you get out of a rock tumbler. VERY different from the dust
    created by carving. It won't slice your lungs up, but fresh shell
    dust from carving will. This isn't something to be made light of and
    joked about.
