The original destination was the CVS restroom in the back of the store until I read the posted sign, "Employees Only". I asked a gal at the pharmacy where the nearest restroom is and she directed us here. My friend and I hopped in our car and drove here, parking in their relatively empty parking lot. After accomplishing our mission to the restroom seen here on the left (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=sGBTAyLzrA6LzXJQW3jCtQ), I walked along some of the paths to explore this park. When I reached the the beach (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=gI27rfH6NvAhj-HQ9ZNHRg), the scenery was eye-catching. There was a small group walking along the beach but it didn't look like they meant to suntan or swim there. I noticed a water fountain and picnic tables likely used for weekend items. Coming on a Thursday morning, this part of the park was empty. Though we came here for a purpose, I could see us bringing our food from our lunch spot here and enjoy our meal with nature.

Beach park north of the town Hau'ula on Oahu's North Shore…read more Beautiful beach park that is not too busy. Watch for surf and current... it was a little rough. it is also a campground but sign says that a printed permit is required to be able to use the park and all fees are non-refundable. We made a stop here to enjoy the scenery. The parking lot is just a short walk to the shore... can't see the beach immediately, at least from where we parked by the restrooms, but once we reached the sandy part and got a glimpse of the ocean it was "oooohs" and "aaaahhs." The nice stretch of soft sand and its ocean background is great for picture-taking especially when the surf is up... the best part was that there weren't that many people on this beach when we came. We visited on a Thursday afternoon and we almost had the whole beach to ourselves. Not sure how the crowd is here during the weekend. Kokololio, meaning "gusty" in Hawaiian. Review #2633

I do however, get occasional "teleworking fever" brought on by the current work-at-home mandate. This weekend we tried to do something about it by seeking out some alternative hiking locations. While Turtle Bay resort is still closed, the myriad of hiking paths are still open. We chose to avail ourselves of the Kahuku point trail and some other ancillary loop trails that stretch across the resort grounds. The day was a perfect one with brisk trades and plenty sun. The 1.5 mile loop and back took us about 3 hours including some time spent gazing out at the point at all the breakers and exploring tide pools. Even spied small fish and found some very interesting geological history--such as micro perforated rocks showing how the volcanic gases escaped. In the end we left the resort feeling decently exercised and ready to face Monday morning! Highly recommend a visit. Mahalo for reading my review.

We only explored a short section from the beginning as it was too sunny and hot for us to go any further. The scenery is relaxing and the beaches were not that crowded despite being next to a hotel. Little critters can be discovered and we had an entertaining time watching all the crabs scurry away from the waves. A variety of birds can be spotted in the vicinity too. We parked at the lot right before Turtle Bay Resort that is accessible via Kuilima Drive. From there, you can walk to the starting point of Turtle Beach and then head east.
