There are no hotels at this beach, but houses and condos may be rented, and the area is a well-frequented tourist spot. One of the biggest attractions to Sandbridge is its relative remoteness and laid-back atmosphere when compared to the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Low speed, two-lane Sandbridge Road provides the only automobile access. Located at the south end of the beach is Little Island city park, which is the location of Sandbridge Pier. Other well-known features of the area are The Sandbridge Market at the north end, and the Sandbridge “S-Turns” about halfway down the beach where Sandfiddler and Sandpiper Roads make an S-turn. The S-Turns is a popular location for locals to “hang out” and surf as opposed to the market and park where tourists tend to populate the beach.
Would love to see the pictures from that night.
Melissa, These are the best of what I shot. Sorry, but thanks for commenting. Best, John.
