We all know sand gets hot, and if you've ever wondered why, it's because of sand's high density and its heat capacity. Sand has low specific heat, meaning it needs very little energy from the sun to heat up fast.

Sand is a poor conductor of heat so when the Sun warms the sand, the heat is not distributed evenly, making the surface hot. Also the specific heat of sand is lower than that of water so when both are exposed to the same amount of light, the sand at the surface will have a higher change in temperature.
But the surrounding scorching sand is often another story. It measured a stunning 137 degrees at peak heat one recent sunny day, according to infrared surface thermometer. “You can't even walk barefoot for more than a minute.” said Juvens Dalger, a personal trainer leading a workout at training site at Lummus Park.
