This one of the many strands of beach that extend across the northshore of Oahu Island . Sunset Beach is only a mile north of Ehukai Beach Park along the Kamehameha Hwy. Facilities are practically non-existent, with only a portapotty at the site. Like other beaches in the area, the waves are ferocious in the winter. Perfect for world-class surfing, but not safe for everyday swimming.
Summers are another story, however.
The seas are calm and the waves gentle. Carryout trucks along the highway sell cool drinks and a plate of food. Shave ice, a local favorite with flavored syrups on top, refresh the hot, salty beachgoers. Below are additional pages related to this one.
