Miles and miles of sandy white beaches await you on Oahu's incredible North Shore. Winter surf, typically from November to March, transforms the North Shore beaches into one of the world's most challenging surfing meccas. When the winter swells hit the North Shore, the surf rises and forms stupendous breakers and perfect tubes. Don't miss the excitement and thrills of professional winter surfing at Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline.

Summer brings calmness to North Shore surf and the smooth waters at Sunset Beach live up to their name by reflecting awesome sunsets. Shark's Cove at Pupukea Beach Park (between Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach) is famous for snorkeling. A marine conservation zone, the cove is filled with fish, seaweed, coral formations, and lava caves. And don't worry, despite the name, there aren't any sharks.

Explore charming Hale'iwa Town with its quaint shops, galleries, and restaurants. Stop by Matsumoto's store for the most famous shave ice on the island. And at Wyland's Gallery, you'll probably see his "painted dolphins" car parked out front. Not far from Hale'iwa, the sleepy town of Waialua boasts the old Sugar Mill (now a marketplace) and the unique Sugar Bar saloon.

Follow the road along past Mokuleia to mostly deserted white sandy beaches that stretch for miles. Pick a beach, have a picnic, explore the tidepools and enjoy the laid-back country atmosphere of the North Shore. For a little excitement, continue on to Dillingham Airfield, take a glider ride and soar high over the coastal mountains and the sea. The road ends at Kaena Point Nature Preserve. The island's point is a few miles walk down a dusty dirt road or you can stroll along the beach to the Kaena Point lighthouse.
