North Shore Oahu Beaches – Like having your own Private Beaches

When most people think of beaches in Oahu, probably the first one to come to mind is the world famous Waikiki Beach. It’s a great place for swimming and surfing, close to many tourist attractions like the Waikiki Aquarium and Honolulu Zoo.

While the two mile long sandy white beach is worth experiencing, the best beaches in Oahu are the small ones located along the Oahu coast. There are over a hundred beaches dotted along the coast. All offer something different, each with their own unique personalities. We really enjoyed visiting the local beaches we came across. At times, It was like having our own private beach since there were so few people.

The small, local beaches are the heart and soul of Oahu. Only by visiting them, can one get a true sense of the island. Each is unique and offers up something different for an amazing Oahu experience.

Here are some of the best beaches in Oahu. …Read More…
