Facing the stunning coastline of Waratah Bay, Sandy Point is a small coastal village.
The population swells in the summer months thanks to its reputation as a wind-surfing paradise. The town is set behind rolling sand dunes, with coastal tracks carving their way down onto the sand.

Starting in the town is the Roy Henderson Trail which will take you on an easy walk through coastal bush, woodlands and views of rolling hills toward Foster. Round out your trip with some family fun at Sandy Point Mini Golf.
