Haleʻiwa Army Beach

Haleʻiwa Army Beach is a public beach on North Shore Oahu with shallow water protected by a breakwater that creates calm swimming conditions. The bay supports various water activities throughout the year without seasonal interruptions from rough seas.

The beach grew from military operations as a training area for U.S. Army personnel throughout various periods of American presence. This military heritage shaped how the site developed and functioned over time.

The beach stands near the Liliuokalani Protestant Church, constructed in 1832, reflecting the historical intersection of military and religious influences in Hawaiian society.

The beach provides numerous facilities including basketball courts, volleyball areas, and exercise stations along with ample parking. Softball fields and recreational amenities make it easy to spend the whole day here.

Unlike neighboring North Shore beaches, the waters here remain calm and protected even during winter months when other nearby spots face large swells. This consistent safety makes it a distinct choice for swimmers avoiding rough conditions.
