Sand Beach (variant name Sandbeach) is an unincorporated community in South Hanover Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, United States, situated in the Harrisburg-Carlisle Metropolitan Statistical Area, in the vicinity of the census-designated place of Hershey. It lies at the point where the smaller Manada Creek joins the Swatara Creek.

It was founded as Manadaville. The village would later take its name after a post office in the area.
