Chun's Reef Beach

Chun's Reef on Oahu's North Shore is a beloved beach stretching east from Kawailoa Beach and known for its premier surfing conditions during winter months when waves reach powerful proportions. Conversely, during the summer months it becomes an excellent site for snorkeling and swimming thanks to calmer waters.

Care must be taken during periods of high swells as the water can quickly become swift and dangerous, prompting warning signs on the beach to emphasize the necessity of taking safety precautions to avoid accidents.

The beach, easily visible from a road that serves as its parking area, features leafy trees that provide shade to visitors looking for pleasure while taking in breathtaking views of their surroundings. While its shoreline consists of rocks there are sandy areas suitable for swimming that make this spot popular among surfers.

Chun's Reef offers limited facilities but remains safe thanks to a lifeguard presence and nesting sea turtles on the beach, adding natural charm. Snorkeling opportunities abound along the coral reef and diverse marine life; situated nearby Kamehameha Highway it pays tribute to John Chun (former resident and surfer in the area) thus creating a treasured local spot with rich local history.
