Shark’s Cove
About the Business
Shark’s Cove is a natural feature located in Haleiwa, Hawaii, United States. It is part of the Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD) which also includes Waimea Bay Beach Parks. Shark’s Cove is a popular site for snorkeling, with fairly shallow depths ranging up to 20 feet. Diving conditions are better outside the cove, where caves can be found. The area to the left of the cove offers excellent night diving. Three Tables cove, located at the district’s southern end, is named for the flat sections of reef visible at low tide. Snorkeling and diving conditions are good in this area as well. Waimea Bay is known for swimming and surfing, with some coral growth in the water off the rocky point. It is important to note that during winter months, current and wave conditions can become extremely dangerous in all areas of the MLCD. Lifeguards are on duty at Waimea Bay, but not at Three Tables or Shark’s Cove. Visitors can access the area by taking Kamehameha Highway from Hale‘iwa or Kahuku to Waimea. Parking is available at both beach parks, and bus service to the area is available daily.

Reviews
"Great place for beginners snorkeling. Gets crowded really fast. Come early, before 8 am to avoid the crowds or you’ll see more legs than fish. Fairly shallow, can enjoy with just mask and snorkel. Highly recommend water shoes because of sharp rocks if you don’t wear fins. Strong current in a few spots, so closely watch your kids."
"A must visit when traveling to Oahu. Great place to experience the warm and clear waters of the ocean. Many fish to see around the corral. The tide does get rough in the evenings but very calm throughout the day time. Enjoy the beautiful sunset with that special person you Love!"
"Free spot for some snorkeling. Restrooms are available. Try to arrive early as parking can be limited. Food trucks right across the street. Take your snorkeling gear and water shoes as the walk into the water can be rough due to the rocks. Really enjoyed myself."
"Awesome place to snorkeling with interesting experience, especially for the beginner. And it’s safe to see various fish under the water, but avoiding to get close to the area of “water inlet”, especially in the windy weather. Check the tide chart before coming, it is ideal to snorkel at the low tide. Remember to wear water shoes and bath towel."
"Really beautiful place to snorkel. Technically there are reefs here so careful with your sunscreen. Make sure it is reef safe. Also a lot of sea urchins here so be careful. Beautiful waters though."
