Turtle Bay at a Glance

Turtle Bay marks the entrance to the legendary North Shore, one of the most scenic strips of Oahu's coastline. The bay is named after the large number of green sea turtles that used to inhabit the area. There are far fewer of them today, but you can still spot one or two close to the shore if you’re lucky.

Most people come to Turtle Bay for diving, surfing and snorkeling. A barrier reef protects the nearshore waters from strong currents, making it safe for beginning swimmers. Beyond this reef is where the surfing area begins. This is where you get some serious waves that make for a perfect ride. The current can be very strong at times, so make sure to check weather conditions before venturing beyond the reef.

Fishing is also excellent especially in the summer, when most of the fish swim close to shore and past the barrier reef. Fishing gear is available from some of the nearby beach shops. Try joining one of the local fishermen – they’ll gladly teach you the ropes and show you which areas are most abundant.

An upscale hotel, the Turtle Bay Resort, offers first-class accommodation for wealthy visitors. There’s a large pool, a waterslide for children and two beach restaurants where you can eat even if you’re not a hotel guest.

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 read more about ocean safety in Hawaii.
