The world's largest baymouth barrier dune formation, Sandbanks has three beautiful white sand beaches. The Outlet Beach on the East Lake is the most popular and can get very busy so either go early or around 4:00 p.m. and stay for the gorgeous sunsets. Also visit Dunes Beach for unique sandy hills and views, and Lakeshore Beach for the waves - both are located on the West Lake.
