Breaking Ground in Sandbridge

Initially called Sand Ridge, likely attributing the topography of the area, the name Sandbridge was cemented after local settlers believed the name fit a sandy bridge that lead to the beach. It was the late 1870’s when the buzz of the area caught on. The United States Lifesaving Service was authorized by the U.S. Congress to construct stations along the coastline to aid seamen. While this populated the area with stationed surfmen and keepers, along with hunters, fishermen, and other activity-driven folks, the growth of Sandbridge development started in the 1950’s.

In 1952, Harvey Lindsay, a Norfolk, VA real estate developer bought a large section of Sandbridge to create a second home community; and following that, James Kabler built the first Sandbridge house in 1953. From there, the area and residents started to expand and grow until a massive northeaster storm in the early 60’s attempted a clean slate for the area. Winds and tides devastated the area, but residents cleaned it up, and had a new vision of constructing homes on pilings for stability.

Sandbridge continued to flourish and blossom into a thriving year round community in the 1980s. Today, Sandbridge epitomizes the “beach community”. It proudly provides a special beach home setting for locals along with an ideal vacation spot for guests – where they can still embrace the gorgeous beach without tourist saturation. Sandbridge gives each person the unique opportunity to visit renowned parks (Back Bay Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park) along with expansive beach access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Come make memories in Sandbridge. We guarantee they will be unforgettable!

Fly on Over to Sandbridge Beach

There’s a reason many associate sunshine with smiles. Warmer weather can mean an upcoming summer vacation! What better way to start planning (and packing!) for your Sandbridge Beach vacation than with a little bird’s eye view of the premier vacation destination. Let’s get started!

Set your sights on Sandbridge Beach. Miles of wide Atlantic Ocean beach on one side, and the gorgeous Back Bay waters on the other:

Should we stake out your view of the beach? How about this spot? Lounge in the pool while watching the waves:

Maybe a little sunshine relaxation is more your style:

Lounging in the shade is always a welcome activity:

One of the many benefits of Sandbridge is no matter what rental you select, you’re always just moments away from the water. Whether oceanfront, semi-oceanfront, 3rd row, 4th row or others, water is near you:

If canal life with optional beach days is more your vacation style, check out these bayfront vacation views:

Pools days, boating, and beach? Yes please!

The time for your Sandbridge vacation is now! Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but your beach memories are priceless. Browse and book today!

Packing for the Perfect Beach Day

Your perfect Sandbridge Beach day is right around the corner! You have your favorite beach chair and towel ready. Books, toys, and music are packed along with some sunscreen. The anticipation of relaxing on the beach, dips in the water, and strolls in the sand are building. Before you leave, consider these extra tips, tricks and insight that help make your beach day even more perfect:

  1. Frozen snacks, like grapes, can double as ice to help keep things cold in your cooler, as can half-frozen water bottles.
  2. Pre-making sandwiches and then putting them back in the bread bag help keep the food dry and have snacks ready.
  3. Anchor your beach umbrella to make sure a breeze doesn’t blow your shade away.
  4. Turn flip flops sole facing up so the sun won’t heat them before you put them back on (or hang them from an umbrella).
  5. Pack a t-shirt and hat for skin breaks from the hottest part of the day.
  6. Remember that sun reflects off of water so wear UV protection sunglasses.
  7. Apply sunscreen at your vacation rental home prior to hitting the beach. This way sand or other variables won’t distract from full coverage. Then bring the sunscreen to the beach and reapply throughout the day.
  8. Bring a trash bag. There are public trash cans, but being able to consolidate then do one trash drop makes for a more convenient trip.
  9. Bring a bucket. This can be a central location for items to remove from pockets prior to swimming in the ocean, a place to hold seashells, or even double as a speaker if needed.
  10. Make your spot a personal landmark and check it when in the water. Ocean currents can nonchalantly move you down the beach.

No matter what you bring to the beach, you’re guaranteed to leave it with the best of memories. Come explore Sandbridge and make a new family tradition! Browse and book your rental today!

Bayfront at the Beach

Five miles of gorgeous, expansive beach welcome guests visiting Sandbridge Beach every day.  It’s true, one side of this resort community hugs the Atlantic Ocean, but that’s only one of the many attributes of the area. Let’s talk about the other side of Sandbridge – Back Bay. Sandbridge travelers have the unique opportunity of staying on the Bay, and still being only blocks away from the ocean.  What are some perks of the Back Bay backyard, you may ask? There are plenty.

Back Bay is actually part of Back Bay Wildlife Refuge. Those lucky guests who opted for a Bay stay have the most serene views with endless opportunities to spot various birds, turtles, fish, otters, and other wildlife. Some homes even include docks, boat ramps and pools – allowing guests to have a full spectrum of water play during their vacation. It’s the perfect location for kayaking, fishing, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, and more. Plus, the beach is just a short walk away, allowing you to diversify your vacation.

Most people that plan for a beach vacation are prepped and ready for the ocean, and perhaps some pool time. For those looking to add even more fun, consider a Bayfront property in Sandbridge and get the vacation of a lifetime!
