About This Beach
Sandy Beach, also known as 'Breakneck Beach,' is a stunning Oahu shoreline renowned for its powerful shorebreak and strong currents. The beach offers a mix of soft sand and rocky areas, with ample parking and facilities (restrooms and showers, though sometimes poorly maintained), and convenient access. It's a favorite for experienced surfers and bodyboarders but is not recommended for novice swimmers or families with young children due to hazardous conditions.
