Note
The y turns to i before the ending, the same change that gives sandier. Every adjective meaning grades this way, so the sandiest beach is the one most covered in sand, the sandiest soil holds the most of it, and the sandiest coat comes closest to its color. The informal noun sandy, meaning a sandwich, has nothing to do with this form.
