Laniakea Beach/Turtle Beach

See the Sea Turtles come up to Shore

The green sea turtles are cold blooded creatures and like to sun themselves on the beach. Sometimes you can see them out in the water poking out their heads. Unfortunately, we had no such luck. 

Be Cool with the Sea Turtles

If you go and get lucky enough to see one, keep your distance and do not touch them. It’s illegal to do so and you can get fined or even face jail time. The beach is beautiful. The giant rocks and rocky shoreline makes for great photographs. Although you can swim there, the waves can be quite dangerous, especially in the winter. Laniakea Beach is about halfway in between Waimea Bay and Haleiwa on the North Shore. Travel the Kamehameha Highway and you won’t miss it. The traffic always bogged down as we approached it. This beach is a big tourist stop and can get crowded. Parking is across the road and there are no bathrooms or showers.
