There is only a small sandy beach with rocky shoreline so this is not a beach for sunbathing. Instead, Snorkel or dive in the summer, surf in the winter.

During the calmer summer months this is a popular bay for snorkeling and scuba diving. As part of the Mokuleia Marine Life Conservation District, Honolua Bay has an abundance of fish and coral formations. No fishing or spearing of fishing allowed as this is a protected marine life preserve.

During the winter high surf season the waves can provide very long rides due to the long flat reef.

The Quiksilver Big Wave Invitational in Memory of Eddie Aikau takes place in this point to honor the legendary surfer and the first lifeguard of the North Shore of Oahu. Since its inception in 1984, the tournament has only been held seven times, due to a precondition that there be waves at least 20 feet high at Waimea Bay.

You can also find rock climbers on the cliff and in the dry cave on the beach.

Sand and reef beach famous for its surf.

When the waves are steep and powerful, they break furiously on the shallow reef. In calmer months, usually spring and summer, swimming is good over the sandbar.

On the northern end of the beach is Polihale State Park and southern Barking Sands Beach. This is the last section of Hawaii's biggest beach, one that stretches for over 12 miles. The sand dunes along this beach can reach up to 100-feet in height.

The entire beach is unprotected from the ocean so surf and strong currents make for dangerous swimming conditions, although the queen's pond area offers reef protection with a small, encircled reef area.
