Pupukea tide pools to the left, Shark's Cove to the right. Pools are not deep, mostly walkable - but bring water shoes. Shallow, and barefoot can hurt. Can be hard to maneuver in Snorkel gear. Saw the prettiest little Snowflake eel here, about 18 inches, lots of endemic fish. Really a great spot for kids and little ones. Shark's Cove is to the right of the restrooms. Better depth here and therefore better to Snorkel, or dive. Fish were incredibly abundant: some massive schools of 500 (or so), Green Sea Turtles, eel, and a nice array of Parrot Fish. Visibility to about 60 feet. Visited Thanksgiving week and were told to select a day with little to no surf, as it can make swimming difficult, reduce visibility and possibility cause injury. Picked the right day apparently as it was absolutely fantastic... One of the best I've experienced in the Islands. Notes: go early to get a decent parking spot. The small lot fills up early, by 10am or so. Across the street are several eateries, and a market just next door.

We drove past the southern end and stopped at the Northern end of the pipeline at Sunset Beach. The entire length of the pipeline is residential and the beach looks untouched. On the day we visited it was rainy so the waves were actually smaller because the wind was blowing the out, according to our tour driver. Either way, the beach was untouched and beautiful.
8. Sunset Beach Park

Sunset Beach is stunning and beautiful Spend a moment watching the surfers and drive on 5 minutes to Pipeline - all the beaches on the North shore well worth seeing
9. Mokuleia Beach Park

If you like pounding surf, and less people, this is the place to go. Miles of beach and very few people on it. The surf pounds the shore and it is very peaceful to sit and stare at the ocean.
10. Sharks Cove

Reviewed By June_HTK19
My family went to several places during our stay in Oahu for snorkeling and our favorite spot is definitely Shark’s Cove! Deeper and more interesting undersea terrain to explore than Hanauma Bay, lots lots of fish and some corals, and we also saw a turtle! We prefer early morning snorkeling and when we arrived from Waikiki at around 8am, there were only a few cars in the parking lot, way less crowded than Hanauma Bay. As others suggested, wear marine shoes, be careful when you enter the rocks, do not step on or touch the reef and you should be fine!
