Banzai Pipeline is located just off Sunset Beach Park along Oahu’s North Shore, about 50 minutes from the Ko Olina Beach Villas and Resort.
The pipeline is a surf reef break point notorious for its enormous waves. Notably, the pipeline is a dangerous surfing destination because of its proximity to the reef, which creates a shallow pool of water. However, for experienced surfers, the thick curls of water offer an unbeatable surfing experience. The pipeline is famous for four iconic wave types: the left, peak, A-frame, and backdoor, each of which creates a uniquely challenging surfing experience.
While the beach is open to the public, novice surfers and casual swimmers are cautioned against exploring the waters.
