Located on Oahu’s north coast past the world famous Banzai Pipeline with its perfect and enormous barreling waves is Sunset Beach, a two-mile long stretch of fine gold sand. Part of the Sunset Beach Park, the beach makes the drive along that stretch of Kamehameha Highway very scenic, as the road winds along the beach.
Sunset Beach has two faces: in the summer, when the waves are small, it is a great beach for swimming and snorkeling. And in the winter, you can come here and watch big-wave surfers brave the 15 to 30-foot waves. Sunset Beach Oahu is one of the three sites where the world-famous Triple Crown Surfing Contest is held. And, of course, it is the best place on the island to watch absolutely breathtaking sunsets.
