Jamie O'Brien Surf Experience

The North Shore of Oahu is the Mecca of Surfing. They call it the 7 Mile Miracle for a reason. Within a few minutes drive, there are about 20 world-class waves of all shapes and sizes. If you're a beginner, you can choose from a couple of always nice and friendly spots, no matter how much swell. And for intermediates and experts, it doesn't get much better.

The North Pacific fires off swell after swell from October through May to the various reefs and beaches. Except for the sheltered beginner spots, the surf in the winter rarely gets below chest high. And best of all, the trade winds are side/offshore, so the surf is nicely groomed all day.

From June through September, the South Pacific sends waves to the south and west side of Oahu. It's about an hour's drive from Turtle Bay to surf "Town." During these months, the North Shore usually has excellent waves for beginners! Right out front of Turtle bay is a point that breaks year-round. Turtle Bay is truly a surfers paradise.

We are located inside the Turtle Bay Resort. Here, your days are filled with constant discovery and moments that touch your soul, allowing you to explore the uncommon depths of this remarkable coast. The sound of rolling waves. The smell of the sea. The breathtaking views. A place of deep natural beauty, inside and out.

Surrounded by unrivaled scenery and untouched land, your home away from home is elegant, relaxing, and welcoming. More than just a greeting, we take the spirit of Aloha very seriously. It’s kindness and harmony, warmth and patience. So when you’re here, you’re ‘ohana and that means we take excellent care of you.

Arriving at Turtle Bay is a bit like coming home. Steps away from the beach or perched high above it, breathing easy or soaking up the view. Find your balance, take your time. The spirit of Aloha you find here has a way of staying with you long after you’re gone. And calls you back again.

Dine

We’re deeply rooted in the land of O’ahu and the ocean that surrounds us, and we’re connected to local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers. The flavors found in our restaurants and bars come from the freshest local ingredients grown in the abundant land of our beloved North Shore and the greater island beyond. They inspire signature Hawaiian dishes, traditional meals, a tasty drink, or warm potluck-style gatherings on the beach. In Hawaii, we love to huipu, come together and eat family-style—everyone brings their flavor. Much like our restaurants.

Talented chefs and farm-to-table fresh ingredients are paired with spectacular sunsets and casual yet upscale settings. Our island is full of stories, none more inviting than the one told by the dish in front of you.
