Details
Beautiful Sunset Beach Park is located on the North Shore of O'ahu in Pūpūkea, just outside of Haleʻiwa, past Waimea Bay, Ehukai Beach Park, and the famous Banzai Pipeline. This two-mile stretch of sand is known for big wave surfing during the winter season and is one of the three surf breaks where the famous Vans’ Triple Crown Surfing Contest is held. While the beach is famous for surfing in winter (October–April), there are plenty of activities for non-surfers to enjoy, especially in the summer months. The calm waters in summer are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and bodyboarding, and viewing amazing sunsets are always a must do at this beach. Amenities include restrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, shaded areas, free parking(across the street and beside the beach park), and a lifeguard on duty from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.
