Waves are up, and so is the number of ocean rescues as a South Shore swell peaks across Hawaii. The sizable surf attracted a crowd at Sandy Beach -- not just to watch the waves but to get out in the water and into the action.

Sandy Beach Oʻahu

Aloha and welcome to /r/SandyBeachOahu, a place for anything local, like news, pics, sports, events or just stop by, talk story. It's not a place for stink eye or downvote menehunes.

Sandy Beach is a beach on the South Shore of Oʻahu in Hawaii. It is known for its excellent bodyboarding and bodysurfing opportunities due to shore break that breaks very close to the shore, and consistent barrels all along the beach. Consequently, more injuries occur per year at Sandy Beach than any other beach in Hawaii, 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 Makapuʻu Point on east along 8800 Kalanianaole Highway ʻole Highway in Honolulu's southside neighborhood.
