Don't even need a pump. Get a big air compressor and a piece of 8 or 10 inch diameter pvc about 12 ft long. Introduce air into the bottom and you got a hell of a suction dredge. You just keep the pvc at an angle in the direction you want the sand to be moved to. Hose clamps to hold the valve and nozzle in the bottom end.
I used one of these on and off for 30 years at Runyans shipyard to keep the 3 marine railways uncovered. Must have a big CFM air compressor. The rising expanding air causes a vaccumn suction and the sand gets sucked up with it.
