- » South East Scenic Drive
If you have a rental car, the ocean views and towering cliffs along Oahu's well-preserved east coast offer an incredible drive. From Waikiki, take H-1 and head to the North Shore, famous for its gargantuan storm-induced waves during the winter months. (Seasonal weather patterns flatten out the sea and shift the high surf to other points on the island.) Along the way you'll journey past downtown Honolulu and all its glory.
Connect with the H-2 and cruise on into Hale'iwa town, known for its bistros, shops and some of the best mahi-mahi in all of Oahu. Further in, you can explore the North Shore Surf and Cultural Museum for a dollop of surfing history. Then take Kamehameha Highway to one of the most well-known surf locales in the world - Waimea Bay - and spend the rest of the day basking in the beauty this incredible oceanfront spectacle.
