I feel that fishing the sand is actually easier - physically - on the body than fishing from hopped rocks (especially after a fall that is less likely on the sand to begin with). Fishing the sand also offers it's clues a little more readily than a rocky shore. A ledge typically ends close to the shorline a sandbar is typically visible as it runs parallel or angles out with it's associated structure.
Each has it's detractions and enhancements and I would say both are worthy of being high end surfcasting.

But Jawny, see it today gone tomorrow, or by the end of the tide if the weather blows east hard. You always know where the ledges, holes rocks and such no matter what the weather gods send your way. And on the beach no matter what kind of foot wear your wearing it don't help in big surf, your feet go flying. Ain't the same JAWNY NOPE NO WAY. yOU MISSED IT btw, it was judt like the old days for two nights, now it's back to mung and seals and no fish plus it was very chilly last night and I wasn't wearing my lucky underwear and forgeot to wear underwear altogether which might explain the itch today. Salt and sand and mung make for a very itchy bum.
