Additional Information
Sandy's is the host of Gas chambers, Middles, Cobbles, and Pipe littles. The map attched to this web page has them slightly off place. Sandy's is located "according to the attached map" in between where it says "Hanauma Bay and Gas".
Sandy's is and extreme shore break second to none on Oahu.
Use extreme caution when body surfing or sponging in this spot. Even small days can become rough. If your out to surf Pipe littles is left ocean view to middles and the shore break. Depending on the size of the waves you can go either left or right. Pipe littles does have plenty small kine rocks around so be aware.
Middles is pure body boarding and sponging alike. My opionion the break does not always break in the exact same spot so but you know it will break on the shore. You get great small kine tubes at middles..it closes out quick though. Gas chambers is off to the right closer to the rocks and blow hole. Usually plenty of rights off of gas chambers but sometimes you can break left. Free parking right off the beach. Usually Da Local Chef has his cooking truck in the parking lot if your hungry for a plate lunch.

Sandy Beach
By Dave , 19-06-2010
Rite on matti_i - You got it right, buddy. Most of the time, it's localism infused with the fact that many spots are getting PACKED now, so the situations may or may not be more heated than at other places in the world.
Everyone, just be cool and chances are you'll be treated the same. I grew up here and am white, and thus... I know what I'm talking about here.
