On the South Shore of Oahu, Sandy Beach is a lovely sunrise spot with a powerful shore break that made for good body surfing. Getting clobbered by waves is always an effective way to wake up.
Cold brew coffee, pineapple and wifi... what more could you want.
Hawaiian chicks.
Post-swim, I'd drink a cold brew provided by the rustic road-side coffee cart and watch photographers with massive lenses (in the water!) trying to get the perfect shot of a barrel.
Sandy Beach is a great way to start the day.
