I keep talking to people that miss these three places. You will have a lot of fun you go here

#1 - Sandies - this beach is on the bottom southern tip 20 minute drive from Waikiki. This the one of the only places that the swells make it to the sand (most other place the reef break it down) You get to see or play in massive waves, the water is dangerous here so only go if you know what you are doing but I always have a good time watching the skilled hit the waves and the dumb tourist get worked over by the waves.

#2 - Pipeline (on north shore)- Go there to admire the pro's rip it up. I would suggest to only do that even if you think you can surf, I thought I could hit pipe line and ended up with a bruised butt and a broken board.

#3 - Turtle Bay (on north shore)- every time I went there I saw at least three turtles and more fish then I see anywhere else.
