The sand shark is a fairly massive shark that can reach 4 m and weigh more than 300 kg, but most individuals observed measure around 2.5 m and weigh 200 kg. It is a species with large green/yellow eyes and can be confused with the bulldog shark. As its name suggests, it has a dark back, dark gray in juveniles and lighter gray in adults.
