Pua'ena Point Beach Park is a beautiful beach on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

This beach usually has small waves that are great for learning how to surf.

There is a large parking lot that backs up to Hale'iwa Beach Park. Hale'iwa Beach Park has bathrooms you can use.

As we walked out onto the beach we saw a sea turtle resting in the sand.

From this small beach area there is a trail that you walk to get to the main beach at Pua'ena Point Beach Park.

This is what the main beach looks like. This is where all of the surfers get into the water and paddle out.

It was fun to watch the surfers catch these small waves.

You can also walk to Pua'ena Point for some amazing views.

Overall, we had a good time at Pua'ena Point Beach Park and would highly recommend it if you want to learn how to surf. It's also a great beach for swimming and laying out.

These are the checklist items I recommend:

• Bring your own towels, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas.
• If it's summer time and the water is calm, bring your own snorkel gear.
• Rent or bring your own surf board (You can also sign up for lessons here too)
• Bring some drinks and snacks.
• Bring reef safe sunscreen.
• Don't leave anything in your car.
