I think sea beach sand is more stable( high SBC ) than river sand.it is due to fact that sea beach made of sand which is brought by travelling water either pushed by sea shore or by river .during the continuous rolling in between water layers in rivers and sea shore( which can be assumed as infinite time process), bigger stone particles continuously decaying during travelling toward sea and dissociate in to as small as possible. remaining dissociate particle at beach will be of much strength than any other sand on earth surface and hence residue sand at sea beach has much strength than sand at starting of any river .it is because particle at river starting have no much time to dissociate into most stable form .they will continuously roll toward sea( final destination) and gain higher and higher stability (strength) till billions of years particle vanishes.

CONCLUSION: IT IS MOST PROBABLE THAT SEA BEACH SAND HAVE MUCH STRENGTH THAN RIVER SAND

Why is river sand tougher than beach sand?

The reason is that the river sand has usually eroded more recently, so has sharper edges. Beach sand is continually rolled and rounded by contact with the other particles, so that more of its particles are smooth. River sand also includes smaller particles (silt, clay) that make it more absorbent.
