Seclusion, Surf, and Shrimp on Oahu's North Shore

"Surf’s definitely up — thanks to major winter storms in the northwest Pacific — at Ehukai Beach, home of the legendary Banzai Pipeline. One of the world’s most famous surf reef breaks, the Pipeline, known for its huge, barrel-shaped waves, hosts the final competition of Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing, the holy grail of surf events held annually on the North Shore in November and December. But before the Kona winds kick up, those gargantuan tubes remain a winter memory replaced by a wide, golden beach and tranquil aquamarine seas." - Travel + Leisure Editors

The 5 New Olympic Sports to Watch at the Tokyo Summer Games

"“You'll have a front-row seat to some of the most impressive surf in the world at the Banzai Pipeline, where it breaks just a few feet from shore. You can actually feel the thundering of the waves through the ground.”"

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.

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

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.

Plenty parking summer. Summer time is a good time with kiddos, but can have a strong shore break. Winter time get here while still dark if going to watch surfing, etc.

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!
