The Best Beaches and Snorkeling Spots on the West Side of O'ahu
We are going to start at the southernmost point on the West side of O'ahu and go north along the coast to the northernmost beach on the west side of O'ahu! It's important to note that the West side is not as friendly as the north, east and south side of O'ahu. Our Jeep was broken into and my snorkeling gear stolen on the west side. If you do decide to go to the west side, be respectful to the locals as many of them don't like tourists visiting and don't leave anything in your car. It is beautiful, but more dangerous.
