Pupukea Beach Park
59-727 Kamehameha Highway Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii

This large park is nestled just beyond the famous Waimea Bay, on the fabled North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. There are large tidal pools as well as a partially sheltered reef, excellent for snorkeling and families. Visit during the spring and summer, the winter months generally make the pools too dangerous with the high surf. Most tourists will overlook this beach in favor of the North Shore's tourist destinations.

I have many fond memories of visiting this beach with my family when I was a child. We affectionately referred to it as the Little Pond. From various vantage points, the reef creates a private beach.

My joy was finding a secluded spot around a tidal pool filled with fish and crabs. A large umbrella providing shade, a picnic lunch, and the fellowship of your family created my special requiebros.
