Mokuleia Beach Park

Mokule’ia is a lovely stretch of white sand located towards the western end of Oahu’s North Shore. Being a fair way down the coast from Haleiwa means the beach here is generally pretty quiet. Set about halfway between the town and Ka’ena Point (Oahu’s most westerly point) this is your last chance of  beach with any amenities.

There always something to do at Mokule’ia whatever the conditions. In the summer months, when the sea is generally calm, it is a great place to snorkel. There is a large area of flat reef right off the beach, which means that while swimming isn’t necessarily great, there’s lots to see.

During the winter months there is often good surf here but Mokuleia is better known as a windsurf / kitesurf spot. When the southerly Kona winds blow the water comes alive with colorful sails and kites.

Just behind the beach is Dillingham Airfield which is mainly used as a base for skydiving. The airfield and beach were also used in filming the TV show ‘LOST’ between 2004 and 2010.
