Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? How can I turn shoreline into a sand beach?

When I had my pond dug 10+ years ago I had the North shoreline slope down slowly, until 6' depth, then it drops off at 45 degrees.
I am now living on the property and I am working on my pond.... finally!
Any advice on how to go about making a sand beach.
That is what I told my wife I was going to do and she is holding me to my word!!!
I will haul in white river sand, but what do I need to do to prep it first?
And maintain it?
I have a bottle of Shoreline Defence, but is there something more affordable and powerful I can spray away from the water's edge that wont kill my pond?
I need to remove the moss that showed up this year too.
Should I first just try to rake it out or something?
The moss or algae has caused a HUGE increase in young Bass. That is the subject of my next post....
