Sandy Beach



Sandy Beach Park

Sandy Beach, also known as Sandys and "neck breakers" is on the south east shore of O'ahu. It is not a place for beginning surfers or body surfers. Someone literally breaks their neck here once a year. The waves can pound you into the sand with relentless force if you are not careful.

Please enjoy yourself but be careful should you ever come visit Sandys. We'd like for you to be around to enjoy it yet another day.

On the right side of the water you might spot a plume of water shooting up out of the ocean quite near lands end. That is the Blowhole at Halona. Water rushes in to an underground tunnel and shoots water straight up and at such force, it creates a plume of mist. The heavier the surf, the bigger the plumes.

This Vr was shot 11/11/96 at around noon using a Kodak DC50 digital camera.

Halona is pronounced Hah-lone-ah.
