Sandbox

Heard the sandbox up in north sound is open- has anyone been by? Any maintained balls in the mooring field or it is a clear anchorage? Holding out hope for the north sound for our upcoming trip!

I anchored there last Dec. I did not see any balls but planned to anchor anyway due to a thunderstorm forecast. It’s excellent holding.

No mooring balls. Great anchorage.

They were not open 2 weeks ago but they look to be very close to being open. There were beach chairs set up around 4 large palapas and they had several dozen lounge chairs locked up. Looks like they need to finish some electrical work at the bar. Most of the construction debris has been cleared away. The dock is fully repaired.

I would be interested in knowing if they are open too. I never got to see the Sandbox before the storms but visited Prickly Pear last June when we were staying in Leverick. The only thing we saw last year was a goat. Heading back to the North Sound this April.

Unfortunately, Sandbox has still not opened yet. They are darn close, but I have heard rumors they may be experiencing issues with food permitting/licenses? But that is just from the Coconut Telegraph I have no official word.

There no moorings there either anymore. Still a great anchorage and the beach is nice.

The sandbox opened today

I literally just heard this too! Great news.

I saw it posted on fb. Hopefully they add a lot of fcfs balls. This would hopefully result in Leverick getting rid of the stupid Boatyball.

Awesome! This will definitely be on our list of stops!
