Yes, there are very many sandy beaches. A lot of them are more difficult to find. They don't have road signs that say "sand beach." Ask the locals. They will tell you where they are. I loved the one that is about half hour north of Kona, it is just a road with parking at the end. There is a cemetary sign pointing in the opposite direction. Up north from there is a huge beach by some resort I can't recall. It is where the Iron Man starts and it is a huge sand beach.

South of Kona there is the black sand beach which is really nice with many sea turtles and if you go further south there is a green sand beach that is tough to get to but amazing.

So there are lots of nice beaches on the big island, you just have to look or ask where they are.
