What to do in Ko’Olina
Ko' Olina is by far my favorite beach on the island of Oahu. Ko' Olina is a beautiful development on the Western side of Oahu. Ko' Olina has four beautiful lagoon beaches to choose from with calm crystal clear waters to swim in. If you love Disney you can also get your fill of Mickey Mouse at Disney's Aulani Resort located here. Here are our favorite places to visit in Ko' Olina.

What to do on North Shore & in Haleiwa
North Shore is a place you have to visit while on the island of Oahu! It is worth grabbing a rental car and doing a day trip over to the Northern part of the island. There is a lot to do, see, and explore on North Shore and in the Historic town of Haleiwa.

Visiting Kalaloch Beach & Tree of Life
The main reason we went to check out Kalaloch Beach was to see the "Tree of Life". It is a giant tree with the roots exposed. You can use Apple apps to get to Kalaloch Campground for parking but I used Google Maps to take us directly to the tree. Just type in "Tree of Life".

Visiting Ruby Beach
We stopped here at Ruby Beach on our way up to Forks for a weekend trip. Technically Ruby Beach is considered Forks but it is a good hour outside of town. This is by far our favorite beach we have visited in Washington so far. Plan to go at low tide so you can see all of the sea life and tide pools. Low tide was at 9 am the day we went so we woke up really early to hit the road.

Sunnyside Beach in Steilacoom
Only in the PNW can you have both the mountains and the beach. This beach is so gorgeous with a view of the mountains and other islands in the distance from the shore. There is also a ton of ocean life to explore.
