Sandy Beach, South Shore

s1

Hawaii’s coastline is supposed to be both beautiful and dangerous, and that about sums up conditions here. The currents and shore break keep it interesting and on the ‘must do’ list for surfers and body surfers, but when the ocean starts to get a bit angry you’d better take note and get out of the water if you’re anything less than an experience shorebreak body surfer – and if you don’t know what that is then you’re not one, get out of the surf! They may make it look easy but that doesn’t mean we can all do it.

Makaha Beach Park

From October to April Makaha Beach Park is slammed with intense waves. This makes Makaha Beach Park a popular spot for surfers and the home of Buffalo’s Big Board Surf Classic. Because of the strong currents, it’s best to visit this mile long beach in the summer when the waves are smaller. At this time, divers can find an area of big fish and warm waters to explore. Lifeguards are on duty and showers and restrooms are provided.
