Three favorite beaches

DH and I are heading to Oahu on Friday. We are planning to spend 2-3 days just beach hopping. We like to swim, snorkel, and beach walk and don%26#39;t mind driving to get there. We also like to watch surfing. Any suggestions? We went to a beach with lots of tidal pools a couple of years ago and might like to go back, but don%26#39;t remember the name.

Three favorite beaches

Sunset Beach, on the North Shore is beautiful! I also love Sandy Beach--the waves aren%26#39;t big but they are rough and lots of locals love to body board here. There is a nice view of he Halona blow hole from here. Lanikai is gorgeous and relatively quiet. the water is an awesome aqua color and the whole place is just so peaceful. Have a wonderful time!!!

Three favorite beaches

Try Waimanalo on the east side of the island, one of the most beautiful beaches you%26#39;ll ever see (and not crowded by any means). It%26#39;s about 4 miles of beach, there are parks at each end, w/local residential in between (we stayed on the beach when we were there).

Enjoy!

Thanks for the quick replies. I think we%26#39;ll try to see all of these. We leave from Kauai tomorrow. It%26#39;s a beautiful morning here.

Makapu%26#39;u for dramatic scenery, Kailua/Lanikai for swimming, and Ehukai to watch surfers at Pipe.

definitely waimanalo and kailua beach.

Here%26#39;s three more not mentioned.

West side: Makaha

Not too many venture up the West coast, but Makaha is fantastic.

East side: Malaekahana

Close to the North Shore in Laie.

North shore:

Waimea Bay
