Three Tables

Three Tables is a beach on Oahu's North Shore known for its flat reef sections and sandy areas that reveal distinctive formations during low tide. The water depth varies gradually, making it accessible for both swimmers and those exploring the underwater terrain.

The beach became part of a marine conservation program designed to protect the local underwater environment. This initiative aimed to preserve the fragile coral ecosystems and ensure their survival for future generations.

The beach serves as a gathering place for local surfers and fishermen who depend on its waters for both sport and livelihood. Traditional Hawaiian fishing methods blend naturally with modern water activities throughout the year.

The best time for swimming and snorkeling is from May through September when the water is calmer and warmer. Winter months bring stronger waves and rougher conditions that appeal more to experienced surfers.

Below the surface lies a network of natural lava tubes and rock formations that divers occasionally discover while exploring. These underwater features create hidden passages and arches that add to the intrigue of snorkeling in this location.
