A local favorite for authentic local comfort food --Spam & eggs, "plate lunch" and more! Located in Laie just of the Kam Highway, it's hard to find, but worth the hunt. It was even featured in "Man vs Food" on the Travel Channel. (No, it's not the same restaurant as the one in the movie "50 First Dates").

Located in Waimea Valley just to the north, right across the street from Waimea Bay. Since April 2009 this market has been a fun community gathering-place reflective of the uniqueness of the North Shore. Every week locals and visitors alike gather to celebrate and to fill up on fresh locally grown produce, listen to live music, watch the kids make free arts & crafts, and soak up the North Shore vibe. The food here is better than you'll find at many restaurants, at half the price! Make sure to try out the custom Poke Bowls--they're delicious!
Thursdays 2:00-6:00, rain or shine… tsunami, maybe not.

A local favorite! Great food, nice wine selection, and a friendly atmosphere & staff. It's usually pretty busy around dinnertime, so call ahead or be prepared to sit at the bar for a few while you wait for a table. Don't let that scare you, though--busy means it's GOOD! :)

Drinks & Nightlife
Lively place to gather with friends. It's not uncommon to spot local celebrities/world-renowned surfers here, especially when the swell is in. Located inside the hotel, Surfer offers food and great drinks--try the "Monkey's Lunch"--a great creamy tropical blended drink. They have karaoke some nights.

Sightseeing
Haleiwa
Haleiwa is a cute beach town to walk through with many shops!
Just start driving! The Kamehameha Highway, known to locals simply as "The Kam", starts south in Kaneohe & wraps all the way up the Windward (east) side of Oahu, up and around the north shore, ending in Haleiwa. There are numerous places to stop for a view, road-side produce, shops, etc.

The blowhole is a natural occurrence formed by molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. The lava tubes run to the ocean and, when the surf is right, the blowhole shoots water up to 30 feet in the air. The larger the waves, the larger the spray!
Do not go near the blow hole; view from look out area only!

Amazing hike with beautiful views, located above what was once the Crouching Lion Restaurant along the Kamehameha Highway. It's a short, fairly easy if not steep hike, with GREAT views of the outer reef along the Windward Side of Oahu. Parking's a bit tricky.

Sharks Cove has been rated by Scuba Diving Magazine as one of the "Top Twelve Shore Dives in the World". It can get a little crowded on occasion, but I highly doubt you’ll notice when you’re in the water. Because it's located between the famed big wave surf spots of Waimea Bay and the Banzai Pipeline, you’ll have to make sure there are no large swells that day. October through April is considered Hawaii’s surf season, with waves peaking between December and February, so the summer months are the best time to snorkel Sharks Cove. Children aren't recommended. Parking fills up quick, so show up early or you'll have to hunt for another spot or try & sneak into the Foodland parking lot without

AKA "Pipeline," it's one of the biggest, most dangerous waves on the planet. World-class surfing spot. Parking is tight when the swell is in. Bathrooms and outdoor showers on site. If you're here during the winter months and the swell is in, whether you surf or not, it's a must-see.

Another world-class surf spot, Sunset Beach also hosts some of the best surfers in the world. Oh, and don't forget about the sunsets--hence the name. No trip to the North Shore is complete without sitting on the sand and taking one in.

One of the most popular hikes on Oahu. Hike up and along the crater rim. Amazing views from the top of the trail. There is a water fountain near the bathrooms at the foot of the trail in case you want to hydrate before the hike or fill an empty bottle. The park closes at 6pm and signs posted indicate that you are not allowed to head up the trail after 4:30pm.

Breath taking! Take a long easy hike (really more of a walk) through the tropical botanical gardens to Waimea Falls. Bring your swimsuit and pay a small fee to use a life-jacket and swim in the pool under the falls. It's one of the most meticulously-maintained, beautiful spots on the North Shore.
