Great location! It’s easy to walk to the beach, the rainbow bridge, the river to go SUP, North Shore Surf Shop. It’s probably a nice half mile (estimate) walk to town. We spent most of our time at Haleiwa Alii Beach Park watching a local surf contest. I went snorkeling right across the road, it was cloudy due to the large winter swell, but I saw 2 turtles and a decent number of reef fish.
