It’s a nice contrast from the country living on the North Shore. On the east side of Oahu you will find a small and chic beach town called Kailua.
Let’s say bye bye to all the wonderful North Shore where everything is about the love for the ocean, surf, sand and living in nature… on Aloha time and go east! Kahuku Farms offers smoothies juices, farm harvested vanilla bean ice cream, sandwiches, papayas, coconuts, pineapples and also tours around the orchards if you like. It’s right there by the road, across the street from another shrimp truck :). We are still on the North Shore but on our way to travel around the Island to the east side.īefore we leave, let’s bring some snacks for the road. These waves are rare and only come alive in the winter season, on the North Shore. There are PLENTY of kid friendly waters to play in allover Oahu. But hey, don’t be afraid to travel with kids. Wiamea Bay is another spot where the biggest surfers ride the massive swells during the winter season. Cold water but very refreshing… and Peacocks everywhere. Who doesn’t love big turtles?ĭon’t miss the beautiful Wiamea Falls park, located in the valley of Wiamea, also in North Shore. Go to the store and pick up some fresh caught Hawaiian Mahi Mahi, fire up the barbie and enjoy the sunset. Lots of fun to see surfers tackle these swells. If you go between November and February be prepared for some monster waves crashing at the shore! There’s surf competitions and famous surfers all over the place. These bungalows are great, big and has everything you need, like BBQ’s, hammocks and of course, the tropics. These bungalows are just perfect to get the right feel of the spectacular nature that is surrounding the Island. Who needs fancy hotel rooms? There are no fancy hotel rooms if you want to experience the real North Shore, local style. But relax, you’re in Hawaii, it’s supposed to be slow and chill. The manager and owner is on Aloha time, which means that his clock is ticking a little slower than others. Waking up to this beach in the morning is amazing. It’s walking distance to Banzai Pipeline. Where to stay? I can recommend Ke Iki Beach Bungalows on Ke Iki Beach, which could be one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world. Very good, local, surfy and lovely – in Haleiwa. Beet box is connected to a vegan food store.
They have all the things we like: juices, smoothies, bowls, salads and other tropical health items. Then, we have the one and only organic and vegan cafe on the North Shore called The Beet Box Cafe. Fresh caught shrimps are being cooked in delicious spices, served with a coconut if you like, underneath the tropical trees. Here you will find art galleries, small cute restaurants and the famous shrimp trucks… those trucks are a must.
The first villige you see coming from Honolulu is the artsy Haleiwa, a historic surf town with lots local charm. “The Aloha spirit is a well known reference to the attitude of friendly acceptance for which the Hawaiian Islands are so famous” During it’s peak in the winter season some of the largest surf competitions in the world are held right here with the biggest surfers we have. The North Shore is the surf mecca of the world. I’m talking about beaches like you want them to be – with sand too soft to describe and warm bathtub waters. Let’s begin on the North Shore, with about 7 miles of beaches. I have totally fallen in love with this Island in so many ways. Switch to Aloha time and get into an Island mood for a moment.
#Chokladkaka med lingon full
En miniguide runt Oahu, en magisk och vacker ö full med mystik. Två platser på jorden som jag diggar skarpt, så jag tänkte dela med mig av ett gammalt inlägg bara för det, från just Hawaii. När det är torsdag och hela Instagram throwbackar så brukar jag själv drömma mig bort till antingen Santa Barbara eller Hawaii.
