    5 sextillion grains of sand

    Explanation:

    If the volume of a single grain of sand is 0.004 cubic millimeters, then there will be about 8 x 10^9 grains of sand in a cubic meter. If the volume of all the beaches is roughly 7 x 10^11 cubic meters then there will be 5 sextillion grains of sand on all earth beaches.
