Haleiwa sits on the hugely popular and white silky sands of North Shore, Ohau and just an hours drive from Waikiki Beach.

Rich in history, Haleiwa is now the hub of the North Shore for entertainment and art plus its the gateway to the big surf beaches that attract the best surfers in the world during the massive winter swells.

Haleiwa is a lively resort and offers an unforgettable vacation - it is the perfect destination for a family holiday, an escape with friends, or a romantic getaway.

This hot spot is also home to some gorgeous beachfront property where you can rent a villa or condo - Haleiwa will keep you coming back year after year.

Nightlife

As the sun disappears into the Pacific, the Haleiwa nighlife gets into gear. By no means as lively as Waikiki beach when it comes to the number of bars and restaurants but thats just how the local like it - more relaxed.

In Haleiwa town, there are several restaurants to choose from serving a range of local and international dishes from Mexican to Thai. One local treat is Shave Ice - its basically a snow cone with finely shaved ice with coloured syrups poured on top and ice cream, mochi or azuki beans on the bottom.

Beaches

Haleiwa is home to the beautiful white sandy beaches along Waimea Bay that ranks amongst the best in Oahu. The sea is shallow and relatively gentle between May and September where swimming, snorkeling, sailing and diving are popular. Between November and February, its big wave time where the breaks can reach beyond 30 feet!

Other local beaches include....

• Sunset Beach
• Ehukai (Banzai Pipeline)

Haleiwa Vacation Rentals

Like most places in Oahu, the accommodation options in and around Haleiwa cater for all budgets and tastes.

Experience the very best of Haleiwa by staying in a vacation rental. Many holiday homes are condos set within touching distance of the palm fringed beaches and local amenities and typically come with all the modern refinements.

Wake up in your spacious Haleiwa villa or apartment to breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and mountains, before heading off to the uncrowded world class beaches to relax, top up your tan or do some watersports.

After a day on the beach or sight seeing, the ideal way to end the day is to return to your own condominium or villa rental, light up the BBQ, watch the sun go down over the Pacific and dine under the stars.
