Sandalwood is a surf spot located in Lingshui, featuring an open beach break that is fairly accessible from the highway. The area is under a huge hotel, but the beach itself retains a clean vibe. This spot can be a good place for a day of surfing, depending on the conditions.

The waves here usually handle swell sizes starting at about 1 ft (0.3 m) and can work well with swells from the NorthEast and SouthEast. You can find both left and right breaking waves on this sandy bottom. The best winds come from the NorthWest, and the tide can be low, mid, or high, making it pretty versatile for different surfing setups. This spot is particularly suited for beginners looking to catch some fun waves without too much intensity.

While you surf, keep in mind that the rivermouth jetties at the north end can add some variety to your sessions. The overall vibe of the beach is friendly, so you can relax and enjoy your time in the water. Just be mindful of the changing conditions and adjust your surfing plans accordingly.
