Sandy Point is a locality in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Sandy Point is located at 49.2089°N, 55.2914°W.

Sandy Point unfurls along a low-lying arm of land, its edges softened by the persistent murmur of the sea and the rustle of hardy spruce. It lies 18.2 km west-south-west of Lewisporte, NL (from Lewisporte, NL: bearing 258°T), and is situated 14.7 km south of Charles Brook. The terrain here is a study in subtle gradients, rising gently from the water to a modest height, then dipping back again, creating a series of shallow hollows where wind-scoured grasses cling tenaciously. Between the scattered homes and outbuildings, the land is a mosaic of salt-tolerant vegetation, punctuated by the occasional hardy wildflower that finds purchase in the thin soil. The air itself carries a perpetual dampness, a cool, briny kiss that clings to everything, and at dusk, the sky often bleeds into hues of rose and bruised plum, a fleeting beauty that mirrors the ephemeral nature of the light on the water. The history of Sandy Point is as deeply embedded as the roots of its ancient trees, a testament to generations who have drawn their sustenance from the surrounding waters and the sparse land. For much of its existence, fishing has been the lifeblood, the rhythm of the tides dictating the ebb and flow of daily life and economic fortune. While larger vessels may now venture further afield, the enduring image of Sandy Point remains tied to the smaller boats that once bobbed in its sheltered harbour, their crews returning with the day's catch. A quiet resilience defines the character of Sandy Point, a spirit forged in the face of a challenging environment, where community ties are as strong as the ropes that once bound the fishing fleets.
