This island is a veritable paradise of beaches
- from sandy horeshoe shaped coves to rocky reefs
to "hot tub" tidepools. There are 112
miles of coastline with approximately 130 different
beaches, each one with its own special intrigue.
North Shore: Stretching
for almost 20 miles, the North Shore beaches of
O`ahu possess endless opportunities to catch some
rays or take a dip in the turquoise waters. The
wide sandy beaches make for a delightful stroll.
During the winter months (approximately October
to February) the North Shore produces monstrous
waves reaching heights of 20 feet and higher.
This can prove dangerous for even the experienced
waterman/woman. Visitors are highly recommended
to heed to warning signs on the beach and be cautious
around the waterline. However, the summer (from
May to September) brings tranquility to the North
Shore, with gentle waves lapping the shoreline
- making it ideal for fishing, swimming, and diving.
South Shore: The
South Shore of O`ahu holds the island’s
most crowded stretch of sandy beaches in the state,
stretching from Waikiki to Diamond Head. Ala Moana
Beach Park is a favorite place for barbequing
and picnicking and the area fronting the Wakiki
hotels is known for its summer surf. From May
to September, the South Shore is filled with surfers
eager to catch that summer swell that annually
frequents the shores.
East Shore: Minutes
from Waikiki, the East Shore of O`ahu boasts its
longest, most uninterrupted beach in Waimanalo.
Feel the powdery sand crunch beneath your feet
as you can walk for almost 4 miles. Northeasterly
tradewinds create a daylong breeze that will cool
you even in the hottest of days. The waters off
the east coast are relatively calm all year long,
making for excellent sailing, kayaking, diving,
or windsurfing. The lush, green Ko`olau Mountains
is the perfect backdrop against the white sand
and blue water.
West
Shore : With the Ko`olau Mountains catching
the rain clouds, the west coast of O`ahu is clear
and dry. The sun is ever present, unlike the moist
east side, but unfortunately, with the lack of
rain comes the lack of lush, green scenery. Still,
the Leeward side of the island provides great
and relatively un-crowded beaches, fun surf, and
sunny weather.
