Waimea beach park is a fun place for locals and tourist to enjoy. Waimea beach is a wide,white,sandy beach located on the north shore of O`ahu, just minutes from Haleiwa.

Soon after Captain Cook was killed at Kealakekua Bay in 1779, his ships, the H.M.S. Discovery and the H.M.S. Resolution - now under the overall command of Captain Charles Clerke - anchored off Waimea Bay in order to restock their water supply from the river. This event marked the first known contact with white foreigners on the island of Oahu.

On the Haleiwa side of the beach there is a rock that sticks out 30 feet above the water. During the winter months, the waves can been seen crashing over the top. Here you can see one of the local boys named Matt jumping from the rock.
