OjaiAnna - I'd have to say that in general, the lens hood doesn't do much for redirected light. Especially on sand. That light is bouncing all over the place from the different facets of the sand, and it will still somehow create glare - or at least the sand might be overexposed. The Lens Hood is really for direct light, like the sun. Worry not though, what you're looking for is a Circular Polarizer filter which polarizes (only allows one-directional) light. It has a rotating bezel that you'll rotate to get the best appearence through the lens before snapping the shot. It really helps to cut the "bouncy" light. Colors will appear richer, you'll have an easy time shooting on bright days, you'll discover the meaning of life and world peace will commence.
