About North Beach
North Beach offers one of the clearest shallow-water experiences on Oahu, with calm turquoise waters protected by the Kaneohe Bay reef system that make it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding year-round. The beach is backed by ironwood trees and faces the dramatic Ko'olau pali cliffs, creating a scenic tropical setting with minimal crowds due to its location within the military base. The vibe is relaxed and local-focused, drawing families and water sports enthusiasts rather than tourists, with excellent visibility into the bay's coral gardens and reef fish.
Visitor Reviews
There isn't much beach here, but every time I go the waves are a minimum of 10 feet. It's nice to stand against the fence and just watch.
No trash some sharp rocks
It's not exactly the best beach on the island. Narrow, straight, with not much space to find shade from the midday sun.
