Haleiwa's Ali`i - or, from the Hawaiian -
Royal - Beach Park is noted for its swimming and surfing
areas. Swimming is best in the small protected bay on the South
side of the beach. Surfers frequent this beach as it has some of
the best waves on Oahu's North Shore. The break
can be very dangerous, especially at low tide, as it is on a
shallow reef. The deeper waters around the breakwater often have
very strong
rip currents that run seaward into Waialua Bay - please be
careful.
