Hale'iwa Beach Park
Haleiwa, Hawaii
Camp and Swim
Located west of the Hale'iwa Small Boat Harbor, this 19-acre beach park is a favorite gathering spot among North Shore residents. There is a large grassy area with plenty of room for a picnic. A recreation center named Kalili Surf Center is located in the park. A popular surf site called Hale'iwa is located offshore. Beginners usually stick closer to shore, while experts ride the higher waves further out. A few surfing contests take place here in the winter months, when the surf on Oahu's North Shore is up. There are also a few good dive sites offshore, such as the Hale'iwa Trench.
