Really no Hawaii holiday is complete without a trip to North Shore. North Shore is one of the most famous surfing destinations in the world and has some of the biggest on the planet.
Even if you don’t surf, if you are in Hawaii, you have to see North Shore. The waves will simply blow you away.
North Shore is home to many world renowned surfing tournaments. So if you time your trip to Hawaii right, you could become a spectator to some of the world’s best surfers. Surf tournaments are held in the area from November to Late December. Some of the tournaments include: The Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing, the O’Neill World Cup at Sunset Beach; and the Billabong Pipeline Masters at Ehukai Beach (Banzai Pipeline), The Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational.
The contests are held in the winter because this is when the waves are at their most volatile. Winter is not a time to learn to surf in North Shore. Summer provides much safer conditions for those more amateur and less experienced surfers.
IF you are a surfing aficionado, there is no better place to stay than the North Shore while on your Hawaii vacation.
There is a world class resort right near the area called Turtle Bay Resort. The hotel is on 880 acres of ocean front property and bills itself as the only luxury resort on the island of Oahu.
The Turtle Bay Resort is great because you can get that isolated feeling of being on some of Hawaii’s more remote beaches without ever having to leave Oahu and the sense of being close to the city.
No matter what you like to do, Oahu offers a great number of opportunities for relaxation and fun. If you don’t stay near North Shore you must drive out and see it, the views and the waves will amaze you and they really are something you can’t miss!
