Sanctuary Resort Area and Amenities at Sandbridge:
The Sanctuary, rising majestically from the pristine sands of Virginia's Outer Banks, is Paradise Found! The Resort sits on a thin strip of land known as the Virginia Outer Banks, and is located next to the Wildlife Refuge, the Back Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. You will catch Awe-inspiring sunsets and encounter unspoiled coastline. Every day you will see dolphins, pelicans, surfers and fishermen enjoying the area. In the Refuge you can hike and explore the wetlands. The Sanctuary sits on the beach, so there are no roads to cross. Hop easily from the beach to one of the 3 courtyard pools with an additional oceanfront swim-up bar. There are poolside grills with nearby dining tables, and an on-site restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch & dinner, as well as room service, pool-side service, and catering for on-site meetings and conferences. You will also find: Poolside & Library WiFi; a library with selection of books; a Fitness Room and Game Room; and a Convenience Store
