Waimea Bay
Haleiwa, Hawaii
Description
Added by Brian Heifferon
Escape the crowds of Waikiki. Calm water during the summer months and a beautiful beach. Cliff jumping.
If you're looking to get away from the summer crowds of Waikiki, you should consider heading to the North Shore, especially in the summer. Although this season is considered the off-season on this side of the island, it simply means the North Shore transforms into a gentle, family-friendly 7-mile stretch of pristine beach. There is no better place to head than Waimea Bay. It's centrally located, close to Foodland, and easy to access. Once on the beach, you'll be able to enjoy some fun lounging in the ocean, snorkeling, the occasional body surf, and cliff jumping. If you spend enough time underwater, you'll likely hear the sounds of migrating humpback whales - always a cool experience.

Great very popular beach, parking is always hard to get though

This is a beautiful beach with a rock for cliff jumping! Parking can be pretty tough. We had to drive around a couple times and ended up going to Sharks Cove to snorkel before coming back to Waimea.

If you go to the Bay you must cliff dive! It is a right of passage on the island. Such a fun place to be. Parking can be hard, but just be patient/go on a weekday

Parking can be a little tricky if there's a lot of people. The sand is nice, cliff is a good height with deep water and waves are good size to body surf if you don't mind getting pounded into the sand. Definitely a must-do on the north shore.

Beautiful beach and right across the street from Waimea Valley Falls.

Summer is awesome here. The waves are in town so it's pretty flat. Great snorkel activities. Nice bouldering opportunities on the west side of the beach. Pay to park at the church. It's worth it.

It's a great spot to hang out for the day. Definitely jump of the rock at the end of the beach. Save room for Pupukea Grill for lunch.

This is a fun spot to hang out for the day if your'e on the north shore. You can dive off the rock on the south end of the beach or just chill with friends. Grab a bite at pupukea grill and bring it with you to the beach.
