Sand in my exhaust tips

Hi everyone. Drove my car in rain for about 100 km. took my car to the car wash the next day and when I bent down to clean the exhaust tips I noticed quite a bit of sand in there. Looks like grainy sand ( almost like beach sand). I live 1600 km above sea level so it can't be beach sand. Any idea how this would get there. My car has only 4000 km on the clock. Can it cause any damage. Your responses will be appreciated thanks

Sand/dust travels on the wind, it can cover 1000's of miles and settle. It can do NO damage forget it and get cleaning.
