Things to do at North Shore & Haleiwa Surf Town
Historic Haleiwa Town, just an hour drive from Waikiki on the North Shore of Oahu, is the social and artistic hub of this cheery surfer locale. Explore Haleiwa's plantation-era buildings, surf shops, eclectic art galleries and cafes, as well as its famous shave ice treats. Pro-surfers ride the big waves during the winter, but in the calm summer you can take a surfing lesson as some of Oahu's première surfers have their schools right in the heart of Haleiwa.
