Kahuku Beach at a Glance
Golden sand carpets the shores of Kahuku Beach, located
in front of the nine-hole public Kahuku Golf Course. Apart
from the vibrant sand, the place also shines with a festive
local atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else on the island.
But few visitors ever come here. Quiet, sunny and spacious,
Kahuku offers a welcome respite from the usually packed
Oahu beaches.
Most of the people you will find here are local fishermen.
A few others come to surf or picnic. So Kahuku Beach is
hardly ever crowded, and there are lots of secluded spots
if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. If you’re into
surfing, head over to the Rice Bowl on the south side or
the Seventh Hole on the north for some good waves.
Kahuku Beach is a long and wide white sand beach with a
high limestone shelf. The shelf and the rocky ocean bottom
are what make swimming tricky, if not impossible, here.
The beach is backed by high sand dunes, heliotrope trees
and naupaka, a kind of green bush. There is almost no shade
on Kahuku Beach, so if you plan to spend a day here, bring
a beach umbrella, water and sunscreen.

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
