Detailed description is Sandy Point or Flat Island was formerly a peninsula but is now an island on the west coast of the Newfoundland which is gradually being transformed into a hidden island as a result of sea level rise and ocean storm-induced coastal erosion. Its former connecting isthmus is known as "The Gap" or "Fannies Crack" by locals after a severe winter storm breached the land bridge and created a gap or permanent island during the 1960s. The island of Sandy Point was first coined as a "hidden island" due to the extreme difficulty in spotting the barrier island on the horizon when approaching inner Bay St. George from the Gulf of St Lawrence by ship. This may have also served beneficial to "pirate" vessels looking to temporarily mask or hide from the regular trade route along the Gulf of St. Laurence River at the time on the lee side of Sandy Point where an anchorage was available, away from the prevailing winds. The Fur Trade was quite lucrative during this period so it is somewhat conceivable that inner Bay St. George may have severed as a tax or thief "hide away" from the regular trade routes although this is somewhat speculative.Sandy Point is now an abandoned former island community of the same name. Due to changing economic, social and logistical circumstances it became more practical to relocate to the nearby mainland community of St. George's or elsewhere as a scheduled railway connection began to supply goods that were previously unavailable to the island community or had to be shipped via rail and then by ferry at a slightly higher cost to the island community.The Sandy Point land bar leads or extends from an isthmus or land bridge located from Flat Bay West in St. George's Bay This coastal land bridge extends from Flat Bay West towards Stephenville Crossing and is about a total 7km hike to the Sandy Point Lighthouse with about a 0.25km intertidal barrier. Due to changing tide patterns extreme caution is required to attempt to cross this intertidal barrier as heavy currents can occur during changing shifts of the tides without notice...
