"Snorkeling at Sharks Cove" Beaches / Coastlines Tip by EGitan

This location is really some of the best snorkeling on the island. The reef is in good condition and you will see many amazing fish. There is always the chance to see a shark, but generally it is safe. The cove is surrounded by a lava bed and the currents are not too strong in the summer. It is however not safe any other time when the waves become very large. You can take a tour or rent a car and drive. It is a bit of a drive from Waikiki, but it is a nice drive through some traditional Hawaiian towns.

Directions: Located on the North Shore just off the highway between Haleiwa and Pupukea.
