Waimea Bay
is located on the north shore of Oahu and is world renowned for its high waves during the winter months that can reach heights of up to thirty feet. Called a “natural wonder,” Waimea Bay offers spectacular white sand beaches, lagoon and lava-rock points on either side of the Bay. An inland valley leads to a waterfall and a small lake. Waimea Bay is a world class surfing spot, but caution is advised during the winter when the swells are large and the water is fast and deadly. There is a strong riptide current running out at the center of the Bay and visitors are strongly cautioned to obey all postings and warnings. The hills on either side of the Bay are great for whale watching during the months of January through March. Waimea Bay Beach Park offers swimming during the summer months. The park also includes a sand and reef area, picnic areas, lifeguards, restrooms, showers and phones. The whole island of Oahu is, of course, filled with geographical wonders – the mountains, rainforests, waterfalls, volcanic craters and beaches. There is something here for everyone to see and do.
