Review:
Located on the southeast tip of Oahu, Sandy Beach is a popular 1,200-foot long golden sand beach offering a great getaway from the Waikiki crowds for a day of lying out in the sun. Wide and flat, the beach is great for long walks, flying kites, or throwing a Frisbee, but swimming is recommended only on the quietest days when there are no waves. Sandy Beach has a reef shore break, and the surf breaks very close to the shore.
That and the fact that the beach is facing the island of Molokai and that there are very strong currents off the Molokai Channel make it perfect for body surfing and boogie boarding, but it is very dangerous for swimmers. But the larger the surf, the more the local kids love it, and you can watch them riding the waves with incredible grace, defying the danger.
