Extreme Body Surfers flock to Sandy Beach, Oahu

During the summer months, Sandy Beach located on the Southeast tip of Oahu is a popular destination. Facing the island of Molokai and the strong currents of the Molokai Channel, Sandy beach is dangerous when the surf is up.

Of course that’s the reason that daring teens flock to the beach after school and during the weekends. The surf at Sandy’s breaks very near shore making it perfect for body surfing and boogie boarding. Shore break builds up quickly forming a tube that’s perfect for an adrenaline-boosting fast ride.

A wide and expansive beach, Sandy's is nice for swimming when the waves are very small, but most often there is a pounding shorebreak that creates very dangerous conditions for novices. Do not swim when the shorebreak looks dangerous because it is, and extreme injury may result.
