Turtle Beach
Haleiwa, Hawaii
5.0
Laniakea beach or Lani’s, is a world-class surf break located on the North Shore. It is also referred to as “Turtle beach”, because this natural sanctuary attracts so many of the endangered Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle or “Honu”...making this the perfect place to see a few up close.
If you're driving toward Waimea Bay, Laniakea is the first beach you'll see on your left. You can't miss it - there...
Waimea Bay
Haleiwa, Hawaii
4.7
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...

The hike to the Waimea Falls offers both the natural beauty of a tropical rainforest, as well as the unique, in situ opportunity to learn about local history. Although this hike can be crowded, it is definitely worthwhile to see and swim in this amazing Hawaiian waterfall.

Catch the Sunset at Pupukea Beach Park

5.0

Hike to Ehukai Pillbox

4.0
2 mi
/ 300 ft gain
This hike starts directly across from Banzai Pipeline, the famous barreling wave at Ehukai Beach. It only takes half an hour to get to the pillbox so it's a great hike to do at sunset but bring a headlamp. IF you don't hike at sunset it's still an incredibly beautiful hike with views of Pipeline from above and Sunset Beach and Velzyland to the east.
Park along Kamehameha Highway like you ar...
