Waiale'e Beach Park

Waiale'e Beach Park is a beautiful beach located on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

We were excited to go snorkeling here, but found that the waves and currents were too strong in the winter. This would be an ideal spot to snorkel in the summer when the water is calm.

Below is a map showing where on the North Shore it is located.

There is a free dirt parking lot. This is a one-way parking lot.

There were two porta-potties at the far end of the parking lot.

Out in the distance you can see a small island.

This is the view from the parking lot.

Next, we decided to go for a walk along the beach.

There are some small tide pools to the right side of the beach.

These are some aerial shots of the beach and the small island. 

After walking around and exploring the beach we laid out our towels and relaxed soaking up the sun and listening to the waves crash against the shore.

Overall, we loved this beach. We definitely want to go back in the summer to go snorkeling here.

These are the checklist items I recommend:

• Bring your own towels, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas.
• Bring some drinks and snacks.
• Bring reef safe sunscreen.
• If you go in the summer, bring your own snorkeling gear.
• Don't leave anything in your car.
