Leftovers Surf Break

A Secluded Surf Spot on Oahu

Nestled on Oahu's North Shore, Leftovers Beach Park stands as a discreet gem among the island's surf sites. Easily overlooked, the small beach park hides behind a modest pullout along Kamehameha Highway. A concealed trail guides visitors down to the intimate beach, enclosed by natural rock formations.

With origins dating back to the 1960s, Leftovers earned its name as a secondary surf option during the era when big wave surfing gained popularity. Surfers deemed it a "leftover" site, playing second fiddle to the more renowned waves at Hale'iwa and Waimea Bay. The beach features a distinctive "left" surf break, signifying waves that surfers navigate to their left. Despite its understated profile, Leftovers Beach Park offers a unique surfing experience, attracting those seeking a quieter spot on Oahu's celebrated North Shore.
