If I was going to be logical about it, rather than being wishy, I'd assume the box came from somewhere and had been carrying something, or was going to carry something away from the beach. Sand is really low on the list of things people generally take to or from beaches. I'd pick empty first (maybe toss in a hermit crab), but really, if the island is deserted, who put the sand in the box? It's either flotsam or jetsam, and then the world's your oyster again.
edit: Zenkitty, they're giving you the power to decide. If you can't assume that power, maybe you're not in SHIELD?

I haven't even watched the episode yet, so I don't know how i would answer the question that was actually asked! I'm happy to assume power, but even so, I don't think I'm cut out for SHIELD.
My assumption is that an empty box will have sand in it, because it's on a beach.

Then it's not empty.
Also, does your box have a lid? Mine has a good lid, so that water can't get to the powered up sat phone.
Then it's not empty.
Right, no such thing as an empty box at the beach, there is always sand. And that's why my answer is still sand.
Maybe a lid, but I have no reason to suppose a good lid.
Having been on beaches with empty boxes, I counter that they exist.
Maybe a lid, but I have no reason to suppose a good lid.
You have no reason to suppose a bad lid, given you've gone ahead and supposed a lid.
Well, you can claim they exist, but I have no experience to support that.
I didn't suppose a lid. I didn't suppose not a lid. I do suppose that if there is a lid it is not that good.
Have we seen Maria Hill in AOS before, or is this reference the first time she has been mentioned on this show?
She was in the pilot, iirc. Saying "He can never know" to Ron Glass, re: Coulson and Tahiti.
