In addition to Braun Bay and Small's Cove (a.k.a. West Alton), I've seen people sandbarring in Paugus Bay, just south of The Margate. There's also a very small one near Hornet's Nest Point. I've never heard anyone mention any others.

Is there something wrong with the huge sandbar right in front of Melvin Village? I know that the water is so shallow that MVM had the entrance dredged a few years ago. Yet, I've never seen anyone sandbarring there. In places, the water is only about two feet deep. I also believe the area south and west of Black Island (Moultonborough) is mostly sand, but I haven't been in that area for several years.
Good question on MVM--I'm always wondering that myself. Anyone know?
