Hotels in North Shore

Legendary waves crash against golden shores where surf culture isn't a lifestyle but a religion. At Banzai Pipeline, watch daredevils navigate perfect barrels while sea turtles glide beneath the surface at Turtle Bay Beach. The food trucks along Kamehameha Highway serve garlic shrimp so good you'll contemplate moving here permanently. Take a break from salt and sun with a hike to Waimea Valley's waterfall, where the cool freshwater rewards a gentle trek through botanical gardens. Sunset Beach lives up to its name each evening with a free light show that makes expensive dinners seem pointless. Even non-surfers find themselves mesmerized by the rhythm of North Shore life, where checking the surf report becomes as natural as checking the time.
