"White Silver Sands" is a popular song. The words and music were written in 1957 by Charles "Red" Matthews, although partial authorship is also claimed by Gladys Reinhart.^{[citation needed]}

The song was a hit for Don Rondo in the summer of 1957, and peaked at number seven on the Billboard Charts.^{[citation needed]} An uptempo number, it was Rondo's second hit, and a contrast to the ballads he had recorded up to that point.
