Sandy Beach

Home, sweet home...

Sandy Beach Park sits in the shadow of Koko Head, an extinct volcanic crater that reaches into the Pacific Ocean. It has been a proving ground for some of the top skimmers, surfers and bodyboarders for many years.

It's hollow shorebreak offers you a taste of Hawaiian power instantly. A vast majority of the waves tube and if you can't get a barrel here than you should just quit.

The clear blue water tempts even the most inexperienced individual. This place literally has more spinal injuries than anywhere in the US and the ambulance in the parking lot is a common site.

Northeastern tradewinds blow about 90% of the year in Hawaii cooling off the island chain and generating waves. They are so consistent that you could skim good size waves almost everyday of the year without a ground swell.

Nestled between sea cliffs and a reef point the Sandy's shoreline is generally steep, drawing the waves in close. While it is not a large beach it has several distinct breaks with names like Pipe Littles, Gas Chambers and Middle Peak. Each is skimmable depending on the conditions.
