6. North Shore
Oahu’s North Shore is a superb seven-mile stretch of beautiful beach that attracts the best surfers in the world. Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay all host world-class surfing competitions during the winter months when the waves there can actually swell up as high as 30 feet in height. If you have no interest in surfing competitions, then visit from May to September when those towering waves subside.
