Sandspit Beach is a beach located in south west of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

A remarkable variety of marine life is found here, including algae and crabs. The shallow waters are ideal for swimming and sunbathing. It has an unusual rocky formation. Sandspit Beach is a popular hangout and relaxation spot and a famous tourist spot in Karachi. Facilities at Sandspit Beach include horseback and camel riding.[1]

Sandspit Beach is also a nesting ground for green and olive ridley turtles, implemented by the Sindh Wildlife Department over the past two decades. Nesting takes place in early winter months. In recent years the WWF-Pakistan has also become involved in turtle conservation activities by establishing a wetland centre at Sandspit Beach.[2][3]
