Conditions not favorable for surfing.
Sandy Beach is famous for its powerful shorebreak that explodes directly onto the sand, making it more popular with bodysurfers and bodyboarders than surfers. Multiple peaks like Full Point and Middle Peak deliver short, hollow waves that can snap boards and bones when the tradewind-driven swell peaks. Experienced wave riders love the challenge, but this spot is unforgiving for novices.
Respect the bodyboarding community; don't drop in on locals and leave room for everyone to exit safely.
Insider tips from local surfers
Time your entry carefully between sets and stay low when dropping into the pitching shorebreak; kick out before the inside closeout.
