Sand Wick, (HU435230), is a south facing bay between Cumlewick Ness and No Ness, on the east side of the South Shetland Mainland.
At the head of the wick there is a shingle beach above which is the settlement of Sannick, part of the community of Sandwick.

The Helmsley wrecked in the wick on November 9th 1817, as did the Duipavon on November 27th 1864, and the Excelsior which drove from moorings on October 7th 1909.
