    Came for the famous tree, stayed for the beautiful beach. Got here about 10:30 on a weekday and there was almost no one on the beach. It was pretty crowded by noon. Good spot to swim, surf or relax.

    Nice beach, Restrooms available. Pictures are of Sand- zoomed in from my s9 phone, so much beauty and depth, I advise everyone to check sand with their phones so much hidden beauty!

    One of our go-to beaches on the north shore because there's plenty more street parking space available than most others and there's endless white sand beach with few rocky areas. Perfect swimming in the summer and fun to watch the big wave surfers in the winter. There's a public bathroom and shower across the street.

    Sunset Beach is nothing short of spectacular. We chose to end our day here with one goal in mind – to watch the sunset – and boy, was it worth it. As the sun began its descent, we found ourselves surrounded by others who had the same idea. Sunset Beach quickly transforms into a bustling spot as the sun’s warm hues start to paint the sky. Fortunately, finding parking wasn’t a major challenge for us, although it might depend on the day and time. We parked in an area within a park that conveniently offered restrooms. This spot was right across the street from the beach, making it incredibly convenient. On the beach itself, I noticed that lifeguards were on duty, which adds an extra layer of safety, always a plus. One thing to note is that there isn’t much natural shade on the beach, so it’s essential to bring a sturdy umbrella for relief from the sun. However, it’s the sunsets at Sunset Beach that steal the show. The views here are absolutely breathtaking, and I have zero regrets about choosing this spot to conclude our day. It was, without a doubt, a magical moment that I’ll treasure forever.

    Waves are really strong and the sand is rough… I cut myself on the hard sand and earth beneath it being run over by a wave! Be careful when entering the water! Beautiful place to watch the sunset though on the way back from the north shore.

    Beautiful beach worth visiting! The wave here is much stronger than the southern beach!

    Check out this green lizard with the red spot. Think it's a chameleon but never saw one with spots before.

    It was clear when we arrived that everyone was there to see the sunset. The water was rough, so we sat and enjoyed, for most of it. As you can tell, it comes up quick lol. It's a great time for the perfect selfies.

    Great Beach. Rather big waves and it's getting deep pretty fast. Nothing for non swimmers. We were almost alone. Only a few trees for some shadow, so you should bring an umbrella. Showers are available a little bit further down the beach at the parks.

    This was by far our favorite beach we went to! The sand was so soft and beautiful. The eaves were massive and therapeutic to sit by. There are life guards here since locals surf the waves. Close to some delicious food trucks. Highly recommend coming out here!

    Beautiful beach and nice soft sand. Parking lot right across the street too. Decided a cool spot to watch some surfing or go for a swim. Waves are wicked!

    This beach is fairly crowded, but very pretty. There are bathrooms and showers. There is almost no shade on the beach (typical here though). I think this is good for swimming in the summer, but I've heard this may be different in the winter. We parked fairly far down the road and walked in as parking was difficult to impossible at the time we went.

    Amazing view at this beautiful beach. It gets full quick so get there early in the afternoon for a breathtaking sunset! There is a food option close.

    Sunset beach adds to the beauty of Oahu. If you are a first time visitor to this picturesque beauty, be very cautious of your belongings. As there are several reports of theft ,do not leave any valuables inside your car. Enjoy the beauty of the beach during sunset. And please do not litter the place!

    No public facilities. Parking is just along the Kamehameha Hwy. Pretty wild waves when we visited. Stayed for a couple of hours and watched the surfers do their tricks. There was a big monk seal on the beach and then watched it go back to the ocean. A really neat experience.

    Best sunset on Oahu

    Nice place for a swim. Sandy beach with minimal rocks. Good for the family. Public restroom is on the opposite side of the highway which is less than ideal because there is no pedestrian lane or safety features.

    It’s as beautiful as I remembered it 5 years ago. Always enjoy the sunset here. I recommended it if you’re a tourist and wanted to avoid the big crowds at Waikiki just to see the sunset. Here, my boyfriend and I had a great time waiting for the sunset without anyone interupting our view.

    This legendary North Shore beach offers a lengthy beautiful sandy beach, picnic area, parking, lifeguard services and positive vibes. Depending on the time of year the the ocean offers anything from pancake flat to mountainous monsters known around the world. Parking can be tight, especially when the surf is cracking. A true gem of a place.

    Nice and relaxing

  • 5/5 Keith H. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful beach. Great place to swim in the summer. Almost nobody at certain times. Picturesque scenery anywhere you look. Parking is rather scarce and there's no bathroom or washing stations, but still worth a visit.
