Ocean Walks: ‘Hale’iwa Beach Park’, Oahu, Hawaii

Video Leave a comment

Located in the small town of Hale’iwa on Oahu’s North Shore, Hale’iwa Beach Park (see more photos, view panorama) is fronted by a narrow sand beach. Swimming isn’t that good here because of the shallow and rocky ocean bottom, but the park is nice for picnics.

Also, Hale’iwa Beach Park is frequently used by canoe paddlers as a training and regatta site and by kayakers as an access point to the bay. Surfers also like this beach because from here they can get to the waves at the surf spot Puaena Point. The name Hale’iwa in the Hawaiian language means “house (of) frigate bird.”

Soprabolzano, belonging to the municipality of Renon, is located on the high plateau extending above the provincial capital, at an altitude of 1,221 m asl.

In order to reach Soprabolzano you can take the modern cableway starting from Bolzano, which is by the way not only a comfortable, but also a very fast means of transport.

After a construction period of 2 years, the 4,560 m long 3-S cableway was put into operation, transporting people from Bolzano to Soprabolzano. From Soprabolzano to Collalbo, however, still today the historical train is operating.
