Bayview Beach, Oahu
If you’re staying at Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s North Shore, Bayview Beach is right next to the resort. It lies in a protected cove between two limestone points, Kalaeokaunu (which means “the point of the altar”) to the west and Kalaeokamanu (which means “the point of the birds”) to the east. The former was named for an altar that was once located on the point and used by Hawaiian fishermen. Residents have called the beach Kalokoiki, “the little pool” in the past; today, the cove is known as Bayview Beach.
Swimming is good here, but during high surf, be aware of a strong rip current that runs out of the cove and into the open ocean along Turtle Bay Point (the peninsula on which the resort is located). In case of high surf, it is better to stay near the shore. You can access the beach through the resort’s parking lot.
