Anywhere you drive in Hawaii can be considered a scenic drive because there's usually a mountain or ocean nearby. However, certain routes are better than others because of its unique beauty. Hawaii's most beautiful byways must be appreciated, not sped through. Take your time, smell the salty air or the fragrance of an exotic flower. Stop at a fruit vendor along the road, or that food truck selling yummy food from crepes to pad thai to hot & spicy shrimp. Take the time to park and look at old historical churches, or the old shops that sell second-hand clothing, surfboards, and island antiques.
Welcome to the country! The North Shore, in Oahu, is a world-famous surfing destination. The Kamehameha Highway runs along Oahu's North Shore, bathed in laid-back ambiance. Here you will discover the Hawaiian culture at the Polynesian Cultural Center and Waimea Valley, the famous surfing beaches (Sunset, Banzai Pipeline and more), nine beach parks all along the byway, miles of undeveloped sandy beach shoreline, plus all the water sports you can ever imagine. My favorites in the North Shore are the Turtle Bay Resort and Turtle Beach, properly known as the giant sea turtles at Laniakea Beach.

Back to the North Shore. Despite pockets of ramshackle houses and rickety store fronts, the combination of mountain, ocean and rural scenery make the driving on Kamehameha Highway one of Hawaii's best scenic drives. So get into your car, settle back, relax and enjoy the ride!
