Why live on Oahu? Why move to Oahu? Why even live in Hawaii? These are serious questions for some, but for experienced residents, living in the tropical island paradise requires no second guessing. Homes for sale Hawaii Oahu have seen an upsurge in popularity, especially with non-Hawaii residents from Japan and the U.S. mainland. One of the reasons for this rise in attractiveness is thanks to the many beach parks maintained by the City & County of Honolulu.

These beach parks provide not only the essentials for park goers – bathrooms, showers, lifeguards, and parking lots – but also offer a host of other opportunities. Waimea Bay Beach is one of the most popular Oahu beaches and is located on the island’s north shore. Experienced swimmers and sufers need only apply. The waters in this area reach a peak surf height of 35 to 45 feet with a dangerous shore break. For those not so experienced, the summer months are perfect for frolicking in the waves and the beach is great for sunbathing year round. There is also a large rock that is popular for adventure-seekers looking to make the twenty foot plunge into the rather shallow oceanic waters below. The cove of sorts is located in a secluded valley and is quite empty, especially during the week. Having a home on Oahu allows for quick and frequent trips out to Waimea Bay to enjoy what Hawaii has to offer.
