Sandy Beach is a public beach that has soft white sand. It's why most of us go to Rocky Point. Even though it isn't the ocean, it serves the purpose!

In case you are wondering, Sandy Beach is not a topless beach (but I'm not responsible for what you or your kids might see during Spring Break). You will come across vendors on Sandy Beach who will want to sell you beach junk, like jewelry and hats, or offer you services like boat rides or braiding your hair. If you don't want to be bothered, you are in the wrong place. Just give the vendor a firm "no thanks" and don't make eye contact. You'll be left alone until the next vendor approaches!

Rocky Point Tip: The sun and sand are hot and there's no shade available on Sandy Beach. Bring an umbrella or a canopy with you if you'll be spending a lot of time on the beach.
