Pupukea Beach Park at a Glance

Pupukea, which means “white shell” in the Hawaiian language, is a long and narrow stretch of beach with a rocky shoreline. On each end of the park lie two small pocket beaches within the rocks – Shark’s Cove and Three Tables. Both are very popular and fantastic dive and snorkeling sites, but mainly in the summer months when the surf is low. In the winter when the surf is up and dangerous, swimming, snorkeling and diving is often times not possible or recommended.

Shark’s Cove got its name from a popular story that says that the outline of a reef outside the cove looks like a shark when seen from above. In the summer months, Shark’s Cove is a prime snorkeling spot and even though the access to the water makes you wish you were a mountain goat, it is well frequented, but never too crowded. You have to climb down some very steep rocks to get to the small patches, where you can put your beach bag before jumping into the clear waters. 

Three Tables is named like that because of the three flat reefs that lie off the beach. The “tables” emerge above the ocean’s surface during low tide. It's another great snorkeling spot, also only in summer as the surf is too wild and too dangerous in winter. In between both beaches you find a beachcomber's paradise with tide pools, surreal lava formations and the occasional blowhole.

In the middle of the park is the Honolulu Fire Department’s Sunset Beach Fire Station, an important base for the North Shore of Oahu. The firefighters stationed here respond to many ocean rescues.

Pupukea Beach Park is a marine life conservation area and has several great spots to play in the water along its narrow 80 acres on the side of Kamehameha Highway. Across the street is a Foodland supermarket and you‘ll find a lot of small surf-wear stores close by.

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.
