Sandy Beach (location 21°17?5?N 157°40?20?W) is a beach on the South Shore of O?ahu in Hawai?i. It is known for its excellent bodyboarding and bodysurfing opportunities due to shore break that breaks very close to the shore. Consequently, more injuries occur per year at Sandy Beach than any other beach in Hawai?i, earning it the infamous nickname, "break-neck" beach. The water is especially dangerous during high surf, when strong rip currents are present. The beach park is located between Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve Park on the west and Makapu?u Point on east along 8800 Kalaniana?ole Highway in Hawai?i Kai, on Honolulu's southside neighborhood.
In October 2014, Honolulu City Council member Stanley Chang proposed changing the name of Sandy Beach to "President Barack Obama Sandy Beach Park." The plans were dropped due to opposition from the public.
