Sunset Beach
Technically all of this two mile stretch of sand is Sunset Beach, but it's been divided by wave breaks into a dozen colorful surf spots Back Doors,
Off-The-Wall, Log Cabins, Cloud break, Kammie Land, Gas Chambers, Pupukea, Banzai Pipeline:, , Pele's Followers... they are all Sunset Beach. It's really, for the most part a beach where you can watch
some of the world's great surfers. In the winter, the waves are too high for safe swimming. But the action and power of fifteen foot waves are incredible. It's a must-see, but most of us should stay
out of the water. At times, the wave height reaches to between 20 and 30 feet.
Waimea Beach
A surfer's paradise, Waimea has the longest and best, surf break in the world. there's a
lifeguard stand, restrooms and plenty of parking. In the winter the waves are so high that the shore is lined with spectators watching the courageous of the best surfers in the world. If you're not a very
accomplished swimmer and familiar with the ocean here, stay out of the water. During the summer, the Bay is generally as calm as a lake and it's one of the great swimming spots on the island. If the surf is
up, be careful.
Banzai Pipeline (Ehukai Beach)
Unusual at Sunset, this a great beach park with good parking and clean rest rooms that is relatively protected from the surf and within view of
the Banzai Pipeline. Good swimming in all but the worst of conditions. and still see the drama for which the North Shore is famous.
