Oahu Beaches, Hawaii

From series “Dangerous and Treacherous Beaches That Can Be Lethal”
Hawaii island Oahu is very much required by the followers of the beach recreation and the surfing fans. The coast of the island is considered very dangerous and treacherous. Every year the experienced athletes as well as the Amateursurfers are seriously injured. The main danger to the recreation seekers are the strong undercurrents and the high waves, whose direction one can hardly foresee.

Oahu Beaches, Hawaii The beach Ehukai Beach Park is considered one of the most popular surfing fans. In spring and summer, it is relatively safe and can serve as a good training even for beginners. In autumn or winter, however, it is not recommended to visit the beach because of the strong waves. Not far away is a dangerous beach - Pipeline Beach, the surfers with its powerful waves. Not all sports enthusiasts can overcome them. The situation is made more difficult by the shallow reefs that are endangered.

Many consider Pipeline Beach to be the most dangerous beach in the world. The wave height can reach 4 meters on this coastal stretch. If one falls from this height on the sharp reefs, one will get at best breakages and tears. Among the other dangerous beaches of Oahus you must mention Sunset Beach, which you should not visit during the period from September to April. At this time, the wave height can form 5 meters. Those who prefer quiet beaching and swimming are most likely to visit the beach in summer. Strangely enough, Oahu is the site of both the most beautiful and the most environmentally friendly and dangerous beaches on earth. Next - Volusia County Beaches
