OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
If you are
ever in Hawaii on the North Shore of the
island of Oahu and want to learn how to
surf, then Puaena beach is the place for
you. Puaena Point as it is known to some is
a hidden area on the North Shore that is a
well known secret to many. Surf schools and
locals alike enjoy surfing there because the
waves are not as strong and steep as many of
the North Shore beaches are known for. It is
the ideal location to learn how to surf and
while waiting for waves the beach may start
to look familiar to you.
If you have ever seen an episode of the show
"Lost" you may recognize the beach as the
show has filmed there before. You can find
Puaena to the right of the famous Ali'i
beach. Ali'i beach or Haleiwa beach as it is
known to some is site 1 of 3 of the Triple
Crown of Surfing championships (The other
two being world famous Pipeline and Sunset
beach). |

PLEASE NOTE |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
