Windward Oahu

Everyone says they would like a vacation to Hawaii-and you will never hear me argue against Hawaii as being an awesome place to vacation.  While most people think of Waikiki when they talk about Hawaii, personally I prefer the Windward and Northshore shores of Oahu more than the downtown Honolulu area.  What does this side of the island have?  Well outside of surfing competitions, Haleiwa, the Polynesian Culture Center, Pali Lookout, Shark's Cove, some awesome waterfalls, and miles of cool beaches, not that much.  Here are some of the reasons why I like these areas of Hawaii.
 Here I am diving at Shark's Cove.  This is one of my favorite places to Scuba.  There are arches and caverns to explore.  And just what might you find hanging out under an overhang?  A turtle!
I wonder what he/she was thinking here.
Normally I'm not too into commercialized luaus and hula dancing.  But I really like the Polynesian Culture Center.  You can see performances from various islands of the pacific and participate in games and other activities.  Oh yeah, the night show is a must!
There are many nice beaches in Hawaii.  And a million ways to enjoy the sun and sand.  But I really enjoyed a few opportunities to watch a storm roll in and the waves break on the shore.
My family loved going to Haleiwa.  We love going and getting shave ice (Matusumotos) and watching the sunset.
