Just pull over and enjoy. But, beautiful. However, it is recommended to swim in the south part of the beach where the currents are not so strong as other parts. We took the long way home around the eastern coast. The North Shore of Oahu is yet another location I have fallen in love with. And along the way there's a lot of sighting.
The surfing conditions are so good that Vans Triple Crown Surfing competition is held here every year. Kahana Bay Beach Park is known for its salt and pepper sand, kamani trees, and jagged cliffs. Expect to see beautiful steep rugged cliffs and a rocky shelf which make Diamond Head Beach Park one of the most picturesque beaches in the area. I have never seen a turtle in the bay so I cannot confirm if the name is accurate or not. Unfortunately, there is not much shade here, so make sure to bring an umbrella on a particularly hot day. Nanakuli Beach Park features a protective coral which makes it a perfect destination for swimming. With plenty of shade from ironwood trees, Bellows Field Beach Park also features a camping area, however, you will need a permit to camp here at any time. After graduating with a journalism degree, I set off to explore the world while creating adventure travel guides featuring hikes, waterfalls, beaches & adrenaline activities.

At any point along the beach, photographers will love the dramatic landscape. #meganandsarahgetsalty, A photo posted by sarah_j_od (@sarah_j_od) on Jan 31, 2017 at 2:49pm PST. The most famous surf beach in the world serves up some monster barrels in the winter.
Paradise indeed!! The beach itself has a few surf comps throughout the year and is a hotspot for turtles. At times, the waves here are so huge and can reach 15 to 20 feet in height. It’s been a wild ride.
This amazing beach is perfect for swimming and snorkeling during the summer season. However, most of the beaches on Oahu have a great sunset.
Make sure you have your snorkel gear cuz you can drive up to any cove on the beach n you'll see fish and might see a turtle. No place on the planet has so many amazing beaches as Hawaii. Waimea Bay has it all going on. On a day with big swell Ehukai Beach can be best observed from the Peace Hike. Yummy!! To help with this "problem," I've put together a list of what I think are the top 10 North Shore beaches, including their highlights. Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews. This beach is known to be one of the best diving spots in Hawaii with marine life good enough to attract divers from all over the world. It boasts more than 4 million visitors each year and offers amazing views of Diamond Head.
. Best Beaches on the North Shore of Oahu. It's made our trip memorable. Oahu is home to 112 miles of coastline, surrounded by lush vegetation and offers a variety of beaches to choose from. Try tasty local dishes in one of the small restaurants that are just minutes from the beach.
You will find numerous shops for renting sports equipment and adventurous travelers can visit the neighboring islands by kayak.
