Oahu’s North Shore refers to the north-facing coasts between Kaena Point and Kahuku Point and best known for its massive waves and world-renowned surfing spots that attract popular surfers from around the world. Taking advantage of swells from the stormy North Pacific, notable beaches like Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach sometimes experience waves between 20 and 30 feet in height. In fact, Waimea Bay hosts the annual Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational in memory of local legend Eddy Aikau. Residents of North Shore real estate homes or condominiums for sale find that the distinctive surfing community not only fosters a laid back atmosphere, but also encourages active lifestyles. While housing may not be the same contemporary styles of downtown and east Oahu, most North Shore properties provide residents with pristine views of the ocean and unforgettable waves year-round.
Ehukai Beach, known locally as Banzai Pipeline, is the most notable surfing sport on the North Shore and hosts the surfing triple crown which is composed of the Reef Hawaiian Pro, the O'Neill World Cup, and the Billabong Pipeline Masters. Other frequented beaches and surf spots include Kualoa Regional Park, Kaaawa Beach Park, Punaluu Beach Park, Swanzy Beach Park, Hauula Beach Park, Pounders Beach, Malaekahana State Park, Sunset Beach, Waimea Beach, and Haieiwa Beach Park. Other popular local activities include fishing, horseback riding, jet skiing, powered hang gliding, and shark tours. For those not water-inclined, the North Shore also offers interesting attractions like the Waimea Valley Audubon Center, Pu'u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument, Polynesian Cultural Center, and Dole Plantation, as well as two world-class golf courses at Turtle Bay Resort. Residents find that the limited amount of mom-and-pop grocery stores are sufficient for shopping and usually only commute into Honolulu or more populated locations occasionally for shopping at department stores and other retailers.
