Our 2010 Prius IV is sandy beach metallic. The interior is leather/bisque with black accents. My wife loves the color. Yes, it is more gold looking then tan. A good number of people who have asked us questions about the Prius said it looks great.

It's a very bold color gold.

Here it is on a Highlander... it's very brownish gold where the driftwood was a taupe-grayish softer sort of gold color.

I saw the color on several cars at the Toyota dealer. It's not bad, but personally I find it too light and bland -- and kind of dated. I think the "sandy beach" name is fairly accurate.

Oh isn't that funny.
Totally to each their own.
I find it too bold and too gold!
But, then, that's jus' me!

I own a 2007 silverpine with tan leather... and my previous Prius is tideland pearl (the old green/gray) .. I miss that color!

Sandy Beach really needs to have tinted windows and larger smoked wheels to look good. Chrome/ brushed aluminum look doesn't all that great together but darken the car up a bit and it's a good looking and pollished color.
