What it's about
Sunset Beach, located on Oahu’s North Shore, is renowned for its expansive shoreline and breathtaking sunsets. The beach stretches approximately two miles, offering ample space for sunbathing, picnicking, and leisurely walks. During the winter months, the waves can be massive, attracting professional surfers to the area. In contrast, the summer months bring calmer waters, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
The beach is equipped with restrooms and showers for visitor convenience. However, there are no lifeguards on duty, so it’s important to exercise caution and be aware of ocean conditions.
Sunset Beach is accessible via Kamehameha Highway (HI-83). Parking is available, but spaces can be limited, especially on weekends. It’s advisable to arrive early to secure a spot.
