Try powerwashing the motor at a place where you can wash your car with a high pressure hose. Make sure you cover up the important things(ie: air filter, alternator, distributor..etc) You get the idea. That should clean everything up. Did the sand actually get sucked into the motor itself?? I hope not or "bye-bye" to your motor.

i don't think so, as soon as i got the car out of the sand i poped my hood and took out the intake filter dusted it off and checked inside the tube n there was no sign of sand in there.. what kind of symptoms should i be lookin for if sand did happen to get in the engine?
