Sharks Cove

Enter via the rocky shore, timing waves; exit by swimming back and climbing out.

Shore dive with entry from the rocky shoreline; no boat needed.

Sea turtles, octopus, tropical fish, eels, and occasional monk seals.

Lava tubes, caves, and shallow reefs with a sandy channel.

Parking lot near the cove, though it fills up quickly during peak seasons.

Restrooms and showers nearby at Pupukea Beach Park; food trucks often present.

High in summer when North Shore conditions are calm, attracting divers and snorkelers. Winter swells often close the site, reducing crowds.

Entry can be tricky with waves; time your entry. Sharp rocks require booties. Strong currents possible outside the cove. Visibility drops after winter storms.
