Banzai Pipeline

Visiting the Banzai Pipeline on a soft, beautiful rainy day was something special. The conditions were perfect—about a 6-foot break today—making it an incredible spot to watch the waves roll in. The light rain added to the atmosphere rather than taking away from it, giving everything a calm, moody feel. Even without massive surf, the power and beauty of the Pipeline are unmistakable. A great day to take it all in, enjoy the scenery, and appreciate one of the most iconic surf spots in the world. Roxy D

Ehukai Beach is busy, you have to luck into parking. The beach is beautiful. If the waves are bigger than you, stay out unless you have quality swim fins and have experience. And insurance. The local little kids play in the waves there, but they're built different. You'll probably spot some pro surfers there, but give them space, they're feral. Collecting shells? Forget it, you'll only find fragments because the waves pound everything into dust, including inexperienced swimmers. Someone with a rental surfboard will get the attention of the lifeguards, or the coroner, if the lifeguards don't see them. That's winter surf. Summer is usually uneventful.

Surfers Paradise. The concave waves make it ideal for surfing. You'll find hundreds of surfers riding waves. Just sit and watch them hone their craft. The beauty of the beach is breathtaking. Don't miss this piece of paradise in the north shore.

I came here with my wife at sunset and it was awesome. The sunset was romantic and the pro surfers were super cool to watch. A nice change from getting exhausted at the beach. I think everyone should do it if you're here during the winter since that's when the big waves come in at the North Shore.

Iconic location to spend some time enjoying the north shore. Broad beaches and soft sand. Beautiful vistas and fun watching the surfers and body boarders.

Iconic! Not for swimmers in the winter. So fun to watch the surfers and body boarders catch those beautiful barrels.

Great place it being October, the waves for surfing are starting to appear, fun beach overall. Looks like we got there when it was low tide cause high tide left a little pool for the kids!

As a surfer, it was a must see. Although there were no waves on the day, it was very special to stand on the beach where the best surfers in the world get some of the best barrels in the world. Very humbled.
