North Shore

The legendary surf coast stretching roughly 17 miles from Kaena Point to Kahuku Point, with Haleiwa as its cultural and commercial hub. The North Shore is world-famous for winter big-wave surfing at Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay. Communities here retain a rural, plantation-era character with small-town storefronts, art galleries, and a laid-back pace. Includes the historic sugar town of Waialua and the agricultural areas of Mokuleia.
