This North Shore beauty is admired for not only its gorgeous sunsets, but also it’s world class surfing. Just like its neighboring beaches Ehukai and Waimea, Sunset Beach gets extraordinary waves normally reaching anywhere from 15 to 30 feet during the winter months. You’re bound to be blown away when you come to view some of the world’s best surfers riding in the Triple Crown Surfing Competition.
In the off months, Sunset beach can be a wonderful place for snorkeling. As the waters begin to level out in the summer time, you’ll start to see the exposure of the reefs who host a variety of colorful fish and coral. Additionally the beach is quite sandy, and can be enjoyed all year round for those who are looking for a great place to lounge in the sun.
