Turtle Bay (Kuilima Cove)

Kuilima Cove, Turtle Bay, Kahuku, North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii, United States

A shallow, reef-protected shore snorkel at Kuilima Cove, Turtle Bay, at the northeast tip of Oahu's North Shore. Mostly neck-deep to about 8 ft, over sand and small coral patches. An offshore reef arc blocks the swell, making it one of the few year-round-calm North Shore snorkels; green sea turtles are common.
