This is an image that took two years to capture because of tides, currents, wind and people. The sandbar never looks the same each day and I have not seen it look like this again.
... at Hermana Menor or Makatira Island, Santa Cruz, Zambales. To reach this island takes a boat ride of less than 30 minutes from the mainland.
The Islamorada sandbar is a shallow stretch of white sand, just offshore of Islamorada in the Florida Keys.
The Islamorada sandbar is an extremely popular place for boats to anchor and swim in the crystal clear water.
Gatherings on the sandbar can be calm and relaxing, or wild parties, depending on the day and the crowd. By water, the Islamorada sandbar is located outside of the Whale Harbor Channel, less than a mile offshore from Islamorada, on the ocean side. The approximate GPS coordinates for the Islamorada Sandbar are 24°55’59.9″N 80°35’54.7″W. There are delicate seagrass beds on either side of the Islamorada sandbar. Sadly there are lots of “prop scars” from where people have damaged the seagrass beds.
A scene from my Summer vacation time spent with family. My son, Ben, is having fun while anchored in the soft sand of a beach sandbar on St. Simon's Island, Georgia during low tide. He and I referred to this giant stretch of sandbars as "sandbar Island." This is a submission for the "What I Did On My Summer Vay-Cay!" exhibition for Glynn Visual Arts. Several of my prints will be available at the exhibition. If you are in the area, feel free to come and see a wide variety of artists working in various media both 2D and 3D work.

Streedagh Beach, Grange, County Sligo, Ireland
Streedagh Strand is an impressive 3km long sandbar which has is a double-edged beach with several small horseshoe coves running from its point to the end. One side faces east commanding views upon the iconic Benbulben mountain, and the other side faces west out onto the Atlantic Ocean. A perfect place to bathe in from sunrise until sunset.
On the southern tip of Streedagh’s sandbar is Conor’s Island as seen on this photo. It was once a true island surrounded on all sides by the sea. There were 30 residents living here in the early 1900’s but over the years the sandbank grew, which slowly joined the island onto Streedagh Strand. Nowadays Connor’s Island is sadly uninhabited, however if you look you can see the remains of stone cottages and dry-stone walls separating the small fields which today still hold sheep, cows and horses. If you look carefully amongst these dunes, can you spot the herd of 10 horses grazing the wilds?
In my mind’s eye I can see a naturally created golf course here, but obviously it’s really another stunning landscape created by nature. The Atlantic winds and waves have shaped the course whilst supplying the sand from the ocean. The grazing cattle have fertilised the soil creating green grassland to grow amongst the bracken. In return the cattle graze the grass down to a few millimetres in size, keeping it neat and tidy all year round.
Landscapes like this we often try to mimic and create ourselves, to be used as golf courses or elaborate parks etc. Our man made, fast attempts at reshaping our surroundings will never be on par with what nature has carefully carved and created, slowly over time. Although we enviously try to recreate and match it….. we will never truly succeed the final look 💚

Mangrove in a Seagrass Lagoon at Chek Jawa, Pulau Ubin, Singapore
Behind the Sandbar, a rich variety of marine creatures take shelter during low tide in this calm and shallow lagoon, lush with seagrasses and seaweeds. Sepcies found here include secretive crabs and snails. Colourful sea cucumbers can also be seen seasonally. If you are lucky, you may be able to spot sea hares, squids and mantis shrimps.

Sandbar during extreme low tide.
Funny what you learn by owning a dog. Tides change every 6 hours or so, and they move forward approximately 45 minutes each day. And not every low tide is the same, but there's a range of depths throughout the month. Molly gets to dig on the sand bar when there's that perfect combination of low, low tide in either the morning or late afternoon. It generally works out to a couple days a month.
The sandbar at Bulog Dos Island, one of the numerous islands in the Calamianes in Palawan province, Philippines (Palawan alone has about 1,780 islands). It is located close to the tip of Malaroyroy Peninsula at the northern end of Bulalacao, an island located southwest of Coron Island and adjacent to Culion Island. It is adjacent to the Two Seasons Resort, a 5-star resort in these parts.
We made it to this island after a 2-hour boat ride from Coron town. This was supposed to be a 1.5 hour trip but the rough waves caused our boat to chop power several times, losing speed in the process. But the beauty of this island and two others that we visited during the day (one of them is Dicalabuan or Banana Island in the left background) made the rough trip worth it.
The sandbar at Kota Beach, Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines. Locals say the beach and sandbar here looks even better in the summer when turquoise water collects inside the sandbar.
The sandbar at Logbon Island in Romblon is just one of several white sandbars that may be found in the area. in the distant horizon is Bonbon Beach that contains another sandbar leading to a rocky outcrop (Bangug Island) in the distant right background.
I was visiting Winnipeg and went to one of my old sites, Lake Winnipeg at Matlock. There are always seagulls hanging out here at sunrise, but this was the first time I saw them all on a sandbar. It was an excellent sunrise, lots of colour.
My last night of camping was on my way back home after visiting with family. I stopped at a campsite called Sandbar Lake just a 1/2 north of Ignace Ontario.
It continues to be one of my favourite places to camp. I've never been let down.
A little path from my campsite led directly to this scene. I was in the middle of cooking my dinner and put everything on the back burner to take in the scene.
Besides it rolling hills, Malalison Island in Culasi, Antique province, also has a white sandbar that changes its curvature due to strong waves brought in by the typhoon season.
Rasdhoo, main island of the atoll of the same name, isn't at all an idyllic place. The problems with dirty beaches and sea are too big. Nevertheless we found places, where reality still corresponds to the Maldives cliché, that we had in our minds before we went on this journey. This sandbar is just a 10 minute boat trip away from Rasdhoo island.
Where will people living there obtain daily foods? Will the elementary school be near? When I live there, I am anxious about such a thing. It is wonderful that there is a park in the neighbor.

あそこに住んでいる人達は、食料品をどこで入手するのでしょうか。小学校は近くにあるのでしょうか。 あそこに住む場合、そんなことが心配です。となりに公園があることはすてきです。

The mouths of estuaries are places of shifting sands, as tides and rainfall result in water flows of varying direction and velocity. Sunset puts the icing on the cake of this beautiful, complex pattern of sandbars. Ballina
Where blue meets green, lies a shade in between
Like the deep blue sea, dipped in key lime green.
Some call it turquoise, others, azure.
Regardless the color, it’s paradise for sure.
Location: Ft. Pierce / Hutchinson Island, Florida
