A rocky cove on Oahu's North Shore inside the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District, widely considered one of the best shore dives on the island. Lava tubes, caverns and swim-throughs riddle the outer walls, with depths from about 15 ft inside the cove to roughly 40-60 ft outside. It is strictly a summer site: from roughly October through April large North Shore surf makes it undivable.
