My teenage sons went boogie boarding here. One of them had a blast riding the strong waves in & the other ended up upside down on his head like the person on the sign several times. He still had fun & did not get hurt, but he admitted it was rough. If you are a tourist, I would leave this beach to the surfer locals.

Sandy Beach is a lovely stretch of beach away from Wakiki. It has (by far) the biggest waves I have ever seen. However, the water break’s extremely shallow and so it is a very dangerous beach with numerous neck and back I injuries every year. We did NOT even wade out into the water because it was extremely unsafe. However, there are expert body boarders that go there and it is amazing watching them literally be inside a huge barrel wave.

We took a bus here from Waikiki beach which dropped us about 500m away. There are restrooms and ample parking spaces but the beauty of the place seemed a well kept secret as very few were on the beach or braving the colossal waves. Just one food truck serves up drinks and smoothies at a reasonable price. Be careful in the sea, its wild!
