Sandbridge is a long, sandy beach break located at the southern tip of the Virginia Peninsula where the Atlantic Ocean meets the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. The WSW-facing shore picks up south-running swells best during autumn when hurricanes and nor'easters generate consistent waves, making it an excellent destination for learners and intermediate surfers seeking forgiving, peeling beach breaks. The wide, sandy bottom provides soft landings and natural shape for wave progression, though the spot can get crowded during good conditions.
