Massive, bone-crunching waves and surfers on every corner - that's probably what one thinks of when they hear "North Shore." Fact is, those gigantic 30-foot waves are prevalent in the winter months but calm down in the summers to allow for glorious diving and snorkeling conditions.
The crowds certainly gather in the area's top beaches like Sunset, Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay to soak in the rays and watch daring surfers. But the North Shore has plenty to offer every visitor. Take a trip to Haleiwa, a rural community which serves as the area's center. There you'll find plenty of surfing-themed restaurants and stores. There are also plenty of historical and cultural spots to enjoy. North Shore Hawaii vacation rentals are also available for visitors to the island.
For activities other than surfing, the North Shore offers skydiving, sailplane, glider, and ultralight rides at Dillingham Airfield. There is also the Waialua Coffee Visitors Center at the old Waialua sugar mill, now a working coffee mill.
The North Shore has been flashing across your television set for years. The lovely life guards of "Baywatch" frolicked on the sands of Haleiwa Ali'i Beach Park. The remote western regions of the North Shore were also the setting for ABC's "Lost."
