Mokule'ia Beach Park, Oahu
The 38.5-acre (155,804 sq. m) Mokule'ia Beach Park (see more photos) on Oahu's North Shore features a long stretch of sand beach and a shallow reef that attracts many swimmers, hikers, bicyclists, surfers, wind and kite surfers and campers year-round. It’s a popular beach among local Hawaiians.
Mokule'ia Beach Park is also the only beach park with facilities on this shore and everybody who attempts to hike to Ka'ena Point, the northwestern tip of the island, automatically passes it.
From the beach one has access to several popular surf spots, including Park Rights and Day Star, a little further to the west. When the winds are blowing from the south (Kona winds), it means good conditions for wind and kite surfers. And when the water is calm and the surf low, the shallow reef provides good conditions for snorkeling and spearfishing.
Watch out for strong swells that are common in the winter months. Then it is best to stay out of the water because this beach has dangerous rip currents that can sweep you out to sea.
