Up on the north shore, Waimea Bay is one of the most famous beaches in the world. Attracting the planet's most talented surfers, this beach can serve up some of the craziest waves in all of Hawaii, especially in the latter months of the year. When the waters are choppy and the waves are high, the water is best-suited for surfing, but it gets much calmer in the summer and can be super for people of all ages to paddle, waddle, swim, and splash around. It's a beautiful beach with golden sands and a lively atmosphere, and there are some good amenities here too like clean showers, restrooms, and picnic tables.
