About this site
Police Beach sits along the North Shore of Oahu, in the same stretch of coastline as Waimea and Mokuleia. This part of the island faces open ocean swells generated in the North Pacific, which shape much of the diving and surfing along this shore. Divers entering here should be aware that strong currents have been reported at this shore site, a factor worth weighing given the exposed nature of the coastline.
