About Haleʻiwa Beach
Haleʻiwa Beach is a versatile North Shore destination known for its shifting conditions that make it ideal for both swimmers in summer's calm waters and experienced surfers when winter swells arrive. The beach offers a scenic backdrop of the nearby Anahulu River mouth and retains a local, laid-back community vibe despite its popularity, with nearby shave ice shops and surf culture creating an authentically Hawaiian small-town atmosphere. Its protected bay and sandy bottom make it more accessible than some of the North Shore's more powerful breaks, appealing to families and beginners alongside serious water sports enthusiasts.

Beautiful beach with parking close to the beach and easy walk up access. Google Maps was very easy to access this beach and after we visited we realized there were more places for beach access down by the pier but the spot Google Maps takes you to is pretty incredible. Lots of beach, soft beautiful sand, swimmable ocean.
Beautiful beach. Plenty of sand to relax on with palm trees nearby for shade. The water can get pretty rough during the winter but we've been in the summer too and it was great for snorkeling. If you're lucky, you might see a turtle! I love beaches with parking lots, makes it so much easier. The bathrooms were clean and the surrounding grassy area was well cared for. Lots of places to eat or shop at before or after as well.
Was hoping to see a sea turtle at lanikea beach, no luck. We came here for sunset and found a turtle laying just a few meters to our left sunbathing.
Very nice beach here. Lots of bigs waves however. Very clean and plenty of places to swim.
Nice beach. Good for families and snorkeling. You may see a sea turtle! Bathrooms,showers,picnic tables make it easy to stay the full day. Lots of parking even on weekends or summer.
