Sand Point is a compact rural community in Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Sand Point is located at 45.4889°N, 76.4364°W.

Sand Point rests where the Ottawa River, vast and ancient, begins its broad sweep towards the St. Lawrence, its waters reflecting the sky in a manner that shifts from steely grey to a luminous, almost molten gold as the day progresses. It lies 8.6 km north-west of Arnprior, ON (from Arnprior, ON: bearing 315°T), and is situated 13.5 km south-south-east of Shawville. The land itself rises gently from the river's edge, a mosaic of fertile soil and outcrops of Precambrian rock, testament to the immense geological forces that shaped this place. Beneath a sky that can be as expansive and brilliant as any prairie canvas, stands the quiet resilience of pine and birch, their needles and leaves whispering secrets on the breeze that carries the faint, clean scent of fresh water and damp earth. The history of Sand Point is deeply intertwined with the river that defines it, a vital artery for trade and travel since the earliest days of fur traders and voyageurs. Its economy, once buoyed by timber and milling, now finds its pulse in the surrounding agricultural lands and the quiet hum of local businesses catering to a slower, more deliberate pace of life. For generations, families have drawn sustenance and a sense of belonging from this stretch of shore, their lives marked by the annual migration of geese overhead and the steady, predictable thawing and freezing of the mighty Ottawa. While no grand monuments mark its passage, the enduring spirit of Sand Point is etched into the weathered planks of its docks and the steadfast gaze of its residents, a quiet strength born of a deep connection to the land and the river.
