Located in the small town of
Haleiwa on Oahu’s North Shore, Haleiwa
Beach Park is fronted by a narrow sand beach. Swimming isn’t that
good here because of the shallow and rocky ocean bottom, but the
park is nice for picnics.
Also, Haleiwa Beach Park is frequently used by canoe paddlers as a
training and regatta site and by kayakers as an access point to the
bay. Surfers also like this beach because from here they can get to
the waves at the surf spot Puaena Point. The name Haleiwa in the
Hawaiian language means “house (of) frigate bird.
Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please click here to
