Sandy Hook is an unincorporated community in Goochland County, Virginia, United States.
Sandy Hook is located on U.S. Route 522 5 miles (8.0 km) north-northwest of Goochland.
[2] One version of the etymological history of the name "Sandy Hook" has it that at a prominent local bend on Route 522 (opposite what is now "Wood's Store", and probably before the road was surfaced), heavy rain would leave a silty, sandy residue on the road.
At these times, the local population would refer to this bend as "the sandy hook" in giving directions.
