Slaughterhouse (Mokuleia) Beach
The island's northernmost beach is part of the Honolua-Mokuleia
Marine Life Conservation District. "Slaughterhouse" is the surfers' nickname for
what is officially Mokuleia. When the weather permits, this is a great place for
bodysurfing and sunbathing. Concrete steps and a green railing help you get down
the sheer cliff to the sand. The next bay over, Honolua, has no beach but offers
one of the best surf breaks in Hawai'i. Often you can see competitions happening
there; look for cars pulled off the road and parked in the pineapple
field. No facilities.
