Protected from the strongest of the currents by Sand Point, Sand Bay is a realatively safe and therefore popular location for forces-of-nature sports. It remains fairly quiet as it is more difficult to get to than nearby Weston-Super-Mare, but there is a small caravan site nearby, parking is easy and the beach itself is sandy and fairly pleasant.
Windsurfing and kitesurfing at high tide is possible here in most wind directions and it is suitable for all levels depending on the wind direction and strength. The tidal currents can be strong and there is the usual Bristol Channel mud to contend with once the tide starts to recede.
There are pleasant walks up onto Middlehope to the North (from the NT car park) with good views across the Bristol Channel to Cardiff and Newport. There are also a few secluded rocky coves on the north of Middlehope that are worth exploring when conditions aren't suitable for forces-of-nature sports.
For the family there are the usual beach activites of playing in the dunes and building sancastles.
