Top 5 Things to do on the North Shore

The top 5 things to do on the North Shore are all about exploring the natural beauty of our beaches and hiking.  Learning to surf is a given and should be on the top of your things to do on the North Shore List.  We suggest of course that you take a surf lesson from North Shore Surf Girls.  You can check out our lesson reviews on Trip Advisor for first hand testimonies.  Next your list is visiting Waimea Falls Park.  Waimea Falls is one of the top 8 botanical collections in the world.  It is also an are of significant Hawaiian historical structural and cultural artifacts.    Number 3 on your list if it’s Summertime and the waves are small is snorkeling or diving at Sharks Cove.  Sharks Cove is a marine conservation area or no-take zone and  is teaming with fish.  Don’t worry about the name it”s in reference to the shape of the reef looking like a sharks mouth.  Number 4 on your list of the top 5 things to do on the North Shore is a drive out to Kaena Point State Park.  Kaena Point is also a conservation area and dead ends so that you can’t drive around the island.  It’s about a 2-hour hike to the point, and it’s best to go in the morning before it gets too hot.  Last but not least on your list of the top 5 things to do on the North Shore is to watch a sunset from Sunset Beach.  Check online ahead of time to see what time the Sunsets and plan on getting there at least half an hour prior.  Bring your favorite thing to drink and a blanket or chairs to sit in and enjoy the most beautiful free show the North Shore has to offer.
