Oahu Beaches


WEST SIDE

  1. Electric Beach
    • Snorkel spot, early morning 7-9am chance of seeing dolphins 
    • Might need to bring a board to get far out enough 
    • Electric beach next to power plant= warmer water and attracts fish
    • Lots of swimming and better for experienced snorkelers

    • Great snorkeling- good chance to see turtles & dolphins in the AM
    • Surf spot. Also great for sunsets  
    • Dive guide: site is far surface swim. Rec booking a boat or tour
