About this map

Sunset Beach and the North Shore of O'ahu are characterized by a dramatic landscape of steep coastal gulches and world-renowned shorelines. The topography rises sharply from the Pacific Ocean into the foothills of the island's interior, where drainage patterns like Paumalū Gulch and Hakuola Gulch define the terrestrial layout. The settlement of Pupukea sits elevated above the coast, accessed by a winding network of roads such as Pupukea Rd and Alapio Rd.

Hydrological features are central to the area's geography, with the Waimea River cutting through the terrain to meet Waimea Bay near the iconic Waimea Falls. Further north, the Kahuku Tng Area occupies a significant portion of the upland territory. Coastal landmarks including Rocky Point, Sharks Cove, and Three Tables mark the transition from the volcanic landscape to the sea, reflecting the interface between residential development and the natural environment.
