As with many Honolulu beaches, Sunset Beach can offer a very different experience depending on the time of year you happen to be visiting. If you're at this beach in the winter months, you'll be able to sit back and admire the skills of some of the world's best surfers riding some crazy waves, but if you're at Sunset Beach in spring or summer, the waters are much gentler and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The 2-mile beach offers a lot of space for beach games, picnics, and relaxing sunbathing sessions too, and it's also one of the safest beaches in the area, with lifeguards on duty all through the year.
