Sunset Beach, Hawaii
Located in Honolulu County
Sunset Beach is famous on the North Shore of Oahu for being in position all year round for a view of the sunset. Some of the world's most dangerous and challenging waves are formed just off this approximately two-mile long beach. This beach is world-renowned for its surfing competitions in winter months. During the summer however it is a popular swimming spot for those circling the island. Life along the North Shore is, in some places, very much like it must have been hundreds of years ago. Ceiling fans are more prevalent along this part of the coast than along the more built up South Shore. Look out for high prices due to increased shipping costs for most everything. Jobs are scarce, but persistence pays off. There are more jobs in Honolulu-also called "town"-than anywhere else. There are more courses on Oahu (the island on which Sunset Beach is located) than any other island. So you are never far from a golf course here. Just remember, the mesmerizing sweep of the Pacific may be beautiful to behold... but you'll soon learn to take it for what it is: the world's largest distraction. Wander off a fairway here and there may be no rough to speak of, only lush rainforest or lava rock. Housing is probably the hardest to come by in this area and like the rest of Hawaii tends to be higher than the national American average. Most single-family homes start at $300,000 although smaller condominiums can be found closer to Honolulu beginning at $125,000. A new upscale hillside subdivision of Pupukea and Pupukea Sunset Hills offers sweeping and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is not billed as a paradise for nothing and Sunset Beach lives up to and exceeds the reputation it has earned as being one of the best beaches in the world for surfers
