Banzai Beach
This beautiful North Shore stretch of coastline is the home of the famous Banzai Pipeline. This beach can be the most impressive, and the most dangerous in the world. Ke Iki beach on the Haleiwa side is one of the more dangerous shorelines on the North Shore. There is no lifeguard tower, and it has very dangerous and unpredictable shore break and currents at times.
The winter months (October-April) are when the waves are at their highest and most powerful, sometimes reaching heights of over 25 feet. During the summer, the swimming can be nice with some of the best snorkeling on O'ahu.
There are (3) lifeguard towers, picnic areas and public restrooms.
Always check with the lifeguards on duty regarding swimming/ocean conditions.
