A trip to Oahu would not be complete without going to famous North Shore, where big waves pound the coast in the winter.  On our trip we first stopped so I could swim to Chinaman's Hat so we could kill time so that we would be at the famous shrimp shacks around lunch time.  We had 1 pound of said shrimp at Romy's for $14 and I found it to be nothing special.  We next stopped at Ted's for a sliced of famous chocolate / haupia pie which also was not very exciting.  The beaches along the North Shore were beautiful but didn't have large waves since it wasn't the right time of year.  At Shark's Cove we went snorkeling and destroyed our camera then stopped at Waimea Bay Beach.  Next we got shaved ice at Aoki's which was super good and I highly recommend, just make sure to get the ice cream and beans with it.  Then we drove west to the end of the road, stopping at the Episcopal Church to check out their campsites, Camp Mokule'ia.  I thought they were mediocre at best but they were far better than the shanty town camps.

This is Waimea Bay Beach State Park with its famous jumping rock.  This beach is huge and parking is scarce, a good combination.
