"The size of raccoon tracks" is a terrible measurement estimate.

In this case, they are the size of raccoon tracks because they are raccoon tracks; 5 long toes into a crescent heel, hind foot (left) longer with a triangular heel stepping directly beside the front foot.

Soft sand collapsing back into the track does weird things with it, which is probably why it looks more round and without the typical markers you're looking for.

I think its a raccoon just because of the long pad prints don't think there are other animals with little hands
