About Sandbridge

Sandbridge is Virginia Beach's quiet southern neighbor, offering uncrowded surf along an undeveloped stretch of coast. The waves are similar to the main beach but with more room to spread out. It's a residential area without the boardwalk scene, which keeps things mellow. When swell fills in, Sandbridge provides a peaceful alternative to the crowded breaks up north.

Quieter than the main oceanfront with similar wave potential. Worth the drive south for less crowds.
