22 reviews for Sunset Beach
Something magical about the sunsets here.
Just sitting on the beach admiring mother nature. It's an experience.
From the surf to the sand to the sunsets.
This beach has it all.
I miss it!

Got Surf? This IS where it's at. When you are here you are part of something real, organic, special. If you can't feel it....your in serious trouble.
What an awesome thing to be able to stay in a house right on the sand of Sunset Beach for 9 days. Wake up in the morning at 6am and right outside your door there's over 20 Surfers in the water.......at sunset.....there's over 20 surfers in the water.
When you get to see a couple days when the surf is offering 20' Swells you will feel the energy.....not from only the Sea, also from it's people. They are here and this is what they do.
Of course the Sand is beautiful and the Sunsets here are magical.
Love this beach.
Pretty white sand, lots of places to take a beach walk too, and fun water to body surf in. I was here at the end of surf season so I did not see any big waves, and still the beach was amazing. Ted's is close by so good food is within walking distance
Ahhhh, Sunset Beach......be still my heart. If a person could have a crush on a location, my big crush would be Sunset Beach--swoon.
What's not to love about this beach?
- Beautiful sands
- Amazingly gorgeous water with awesome surf
- Crazy skilled surfers riding these gi-normous waves
We spent the ENTIRE day at Sunset Beach. Me, the bf, my cous, and her hubby packed up the car with a cooler full of beers, bag of snackies, and a newly acquired package of Huli-Huli Chicken---now if that isn't a recipe for perfection, I don't know what is....

This particular day the surf was just amazing and the BEST thing of the day, we saw a TON of whales flipping around breaching in the horizon. And it may sound like I am exaggerating, but I would venture to say that we saw at least 10 whales surfacing around for over an hour. I was breathless. :)
So take my advice, if you're headed to the North Shore, spend a good amount of time at this famed beach--you won't regret it. Don't forget to pack some goodies because you may never leave :) And don't forget to stay for the sunset!!!
Note to y'all: This isn't a place for beginning surfers--the waves can get huge and will quickly whisk you away.
The Pacific gave me a bit of her soul, and I in turn gave her a piece of my heart. This place is magical, the sand consists of the tiniest river rocks you have ever seen, and the surf begs to be enjoyed...... Please stay away, there are other beaches better suited to you.
some of the nicest sand my smelly feet have ever touched. probably from the pounding the coast takes during the winter. if coming in the winter months, dont turn your back to the ocean or you may get taken out!! the waves here are no joke and you can feel the oceans power. it commands respect.
as the name implies sunsets are a must to witness. just look for the people all gawking at the sunset.
close to giovannis skrimp truck and matsumoto shave ice.
Loved this place! oh so soft sand! felt like I was walking through a beach full of brown sugar! ;) Beautiful! When you think of a Hawaiian beach, sunset beach is the epitome of beauty!
After a failed attempt to secure parking at Waimea Bay, I continued down Kam Hwy. Between the homes lining the shore, were inter-mitten public access points to the beach. I squeezed onto the shoulder of the road next to tons of other cars crookedly parked and trekked a short distance to an access point.
There were pro-photographers near the lifeguard station, flanked by people watching the surfers brave the huge waves this time of year. I was amazed at the skilled souls who braved what easily looked like 25+ ft waves.
While it seemed like there'd be a jilion people on the beach, just surveying the cars it wasn't nearly as crowded. It's very clean and provided a relaxing getaway. The drive out there from Waiks put me in vacay mode. Would definitely return.
Great rolling beach with lots of room - so it never felt overcrowded.
The only problem was that the showers were across the street.
bring water shoes 'cause there are rocks in the water (as pretty much everywhere)
great place to take pictures and watch real surfers.
don't take your kids here. people drive a long ways away to get to a quiet beach - please don't spoil my vacation.
where else can you find a beautiful beach with sand that looks and feel like brown sugar!!!only at sunset!my sister and i went with our guys and they loved body-boarding!it was a beautiful beach and i would definitely go back!
I pulled off to the left when I saw a bunch of people parking. Funny thing is that since I was unsure which beach I was at, I looked at the view I had and looked down at the picture in my Oahu Revealed book and voila, same exact picture. Funny. I moseyed down and laid out for a good hour. Like Christine E, I ended up at this beach because I didn't want to deal with circling Waimea Bay Beach for parking. But I wanted to see Sunset Beach anyway, so it was a good experience.
I like any beach in Hawaii where I can see my car from where I'm laying, and where I can see my stuff from where I'm swimming. This place had both. It wasn't really a lot, just park perpendicular to the road and you're good. Relaxing beach and big enough not to feel crowded. Good place for kids, if you have those, since the water was pretty calm (for September).
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any parking at Waimea Beach (still my favorite beach in North Shore), so my sister and I settled on Sunset Beach.
You can find parking in the lot and along the street and it doesn't seem to get too crazy. We got here around 3 pm and although there were a good number of people out on the sand, it wasn't crowded at all.
Water was clean, clear and warm. Very nice and chill.
The winter surf is awesome. Do not miss it.
And stay for the spectacular sunsets!
Parking on the side of the road is a pain.
I love this beach, it wasn't as crowded.
beautiful beach
Lovely beach. Parking sucked due to surfing. The waves were crazy and the surfers even crazier. The winter waves in the North Shore are spectacular sights.
My whole family loved swimming here. Of course we visited when there were no big waves, so the swimming was really nice and safe. Kids loved thrashing in the smallish/medium waves. The beach is very long, so it's nice for walks. Lots of parking, especially if you go after 3pm--there is still plenty of sunshine left in the day.
Waimea beach was packed (they have a really small parking lot) and so we ended up here. While the sand isn't as soft and fine like at Lanikai beach, it was still a pretty beach to spend the day. The waves are much bigger and stronger on this side of the island, and so watch your little ones carefully.
This place is super popular during the winter when the big swells come in and the surfers hit the waves in droves but in May, it was the scene of a perfect Hawaiian, beautiful crystal blue waters, white sand beach. We ended our afternoon here and it was heaven after snorkeling Shark's Cove. The beach is wide so there was plenty of space, unlike Waikiki Beach. The showers and facilities are located across the road.
Another nice un-crowded beach in Oahu. It was practically deserted on a June weekday.
There are probably a thousand "Sunset Beaches" but I highly doubt they live up to this one right here.
great beach. beautiful view and best place to watch the sunset. there is a lifeguard station on this beach, so this is your warning it can be dangerous. dont bother going out during the winter, unless your a surfer, but during the summer the water is somewhat calm. walking 15-20ft from the beach the sand floor dips to about 7ft and gets deeper the further you go out. keep a look out for your kids. also, there is no reef, so the current is strong, even during the summer. the beach itself is not that long. heading south over the sand dune is bonzai. overall good beach.
