The weather was perfect and it is a much slower pace on the North Shore. The beach is pretty but kinda busy.

Probably the best spot to learn how to surf. Not busy like Waikiki. Rent a SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) here.

Great spot for beginner surfers. Swell is not too big. Beach is very secluded, and empty for the most part, the views are breathtaking during sunset, sometimes you can see the honu (sea turtles) Totally Chill!

My aunt is a local that lives on the north shore and she took me here to go paddle boarding. If you head south on the beach you actually can paddle into the mouth of a river that leads back amongst some houses. Very easy paddle boarding. A relaxing afternoon for sure.

We spotted dozens of sea turtles in Haleiwa Beach and one came out and laid on the beach. Amazing experience to be close with them.

Pack a lunch and go watch the beautiful waves of the north shore. Great first impression of the ocean!

A place to play and watch for turtles on a clean sandy beach. Rapid waves unlike the beaches in California. Parking is good. Very narrow 2-lane highway going uphill. Bring water
