Sandy Beach

Beaches, Southeast O'ahu


Fodor's Review:

Probably the most popular beach with locals on this side of Oahu, the broad, sloping beach is covered with sunbathers there to watch the Show and soak up rays. The Show is a shore break that's like no other in the Islands. Monster ocean swells rolling into the beach combined with the sudden rise in the ocean floor causes waves to jack up and crash magnificently on the shore. Young and old brave this danger to get some of the biggest barrels you can find for bodysurfing, but always keeping in mind the beach's other nickname, "Break Neck Beach." Use extreme caution when swimming here, but feel free to kick back and watch the drama unfold from the comfort of your beach chair.
