Waiao Beach

About

Waiao Beach has drawn surfers from around the world for decades, thanks to its consistently clean, sizeable waves. The beach itself is also a stunning destination for the land-bound traveler, as its long stretches of pristine dark sand offer the perfect place to soak up the sun and watch the waves roll in. This beach in particular is famous for its great view of the neighboring Turtle Island, a backdrop that lends the area a sense of tropical remoteness. Located just beyond the Wushi Harbo, the name Wai’ao can be translated to “Outside” (Wai) and “Harbor” (Ao.) The surf culture here extends beyond the shore, with plenty of surf shops nearby. There are also basic accommodations for visitors such as umbrella rentals and food stands located near the beach itself. Come learn how to surf, hike in the surrounding mountains, or just relax!
