Sunset Beach Park

"Sunset on the North Shore Intuition would tell you that the sun always sets in the west, but on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, the sun sets on the North Shore. In reality the area referred to as the "North Shore" is located more toward the western part of the island. The best place to watch the sunset is appropriately called Sunset Beach, and if the swells are up you can watch the sunset behind the surfers trying to catch the last waves of the day. In my opinion Sunset Beach is also a great place to stay if you are vacationing in Hawaii. There are a lot of houses for rent in this area and I prefer the vibe of the North Shore to that of Waikiki and Honolulu ."

This was the first beach we went to on Oahu and loved it. Not quite swimming weather as it was very windy, the water was cold and the waves were huge but we enjoyed very much walking on the beach, seeing the sunset and just being there. I love a good, relaxing beach.

I visited sunset beach on my second trip to Hawaii this past April 2025. This beach is absolutely stunning. The surfing is incredible and the sand seems to be such a rich gold colour like nothing I’ve ever seen before. If you’re visiting Hawaii, I definitely recommend renting a car and adding Sunset Beach onto your list!!!

Must see adventure especially for an unforgettable sunset set experience. My wife and I were out there around 30min before the sunset actually took place and the views were breathtaking. 10/10 would recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous beach, well worth the drive to the north shore. There aren't many bathrooms, water refill stations, or changerooms so make sure to take care of that before arriving

Awesome spot to watch the sunset. Some guys started to blast their shitty music as the sun started to set. Otherwise it was a good beach with great waves!

This is likely our favorite beach on the entire island, it’s on the North Shore, so there are some huge waves to see, and you can park right next to the beach. The parking is a little sketchy trying to get out because you’re backing out onto the highway, but, people do slow down for you and as long as you pay attention, it’s fine. We actually traveled back to this beach a couple of times during our trip because we liked it so much.

My favourite place Hawaii! Watching the surfers is good fun and there was always plenty to watch. The waves are huge so it’s a good laugh to jump in for a swim. There’s lifeguards patrolling all day so you’re safe. There are some little drink and snack places near by mostly selling like coconuts or açai bowls. No showers near by.

Nice beach to watch the sunset. Soft sand. Parking is relatively easy to find. Only problem is though that the day I went, the waves were life threatening big so you can’t go into the water.
