Laniakea Beach

If you're planning to rent a surfboard, I suggest hitting up local shops instead of the beach rentals. They usually have better prices and more flexible hours. Saved me some cash!
Banzai Pipeline

If you’re new to surfing, consider renting a soft-top board instead of a hard-top. Much safer, and it’ll save you some cash on potential repairs!
Get to the beach around 7 AM to snag a good spot. It gets super busy, especially during the winter surf season when the waves are at their best.

Check the surf report beforehand. I totally missed out on catching some epic waves because I didn’t read up on the conditions beforehand.
Waimea Bay

Don't forget to bring your own snacks and drinks! The food options are limited and pretty pricey, so packing a cooler saves you some cash and you're guaranteed to have what you like.

I recommend bringing some water shoes if you're planning to jump off the rocks. The rocky areas can be gnarly, and those shoes saved my feet from some nasty scrapes!

I suggest getting to Waimea Bay by 9 AM to snag a good parking spot. It fills up fast, especially on weekends! We got there around 10 and ended up parking a good walk away.

My advice is to check the surf conditions before you go. If the waves are too high, it can be a bit risky for beginners. Plus, you might miss out on some calm days perfect for swimming!
Waikiki Beach

If you’re planning to eat out, try hitting up local food trucks instead of sit-down restaurants. You can feast on amazing poke bowls and loco moco without breaking the bank. I loved my meal from a truck and saved a ton!
Hanalei Bay
Ho‘okipa Beach

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. There aren't many food options around, and prices can be high. I wish I had packed a cooler instead of relying on the beach stands
Sunset Beach
Honolua Bay

I suggest checking the surf reports before you go. The waves can be pretty intense, and you don’t want to realize too late that it's not beginner-friendly. Stay safe but have fun!

My advice is to bring some snacks and plenty of water. There aren’t many places close by to grab food, and you don’t wanna waste time hunting for it when you could be chilling on the beach.
Peahi

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. There's not much around Peahi, and food can be pricey. I regretted spending on overpriced sandwiches when I could have just grabbed a few granola bars and saved a ton!
Haleiwa Alii Beach

I suggest hitting the beach early, like around 7 AM, to grab a good spot before it gets crowded. Plus, mornings are usually calmer for surfing if that's your thing

My advice is to pack a picnic and some snacks. The nearby food trucks can be pricy, and you'll save a ton by having your own lunch while enjoying the sun!
