Papailoa Beach, Haleiwa

Papailoa Beach is located about an hour North West from Waikiki (35 miles) in the historic Haleiwa Town and is one of the lesser-known beaches on Oahu's North Shore. It has become more popular in recent years due to the TV series LOST, which was partially filmed near here. The beach is very spacious so even if other beach goes are present, we can usually still find an open area for ourselves. 

Mid-morning, evening, and sunset are the best time of day for this location. This location is great for families with small children, couples sessions, or individual portrait sessions.
