10 Surreal Places You Need to Visit Before You Die
9. North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii
World-famous for its big waves, the North Shore is the rural neighbor of increasingly sprawling Honolulu. Local farms, such as Poamoho and Kahuku, are helping (as the ubiquitous bumper stickers state) “Keep the Country Country” by cultivating homegrown crops and agritourist experiences. One of the things that makes this island so fabulous is just how little time it takes to go from the glamour of Waikiki to the chilled out surf vibe of its spectacular North Shore.
An easy day trip, the North Shore is a comfortable 40 minute drive straight up the middle of the island. Rent a rag top, put some Fleetwood Mac on blast and cruise this list of North Shore must-do’s.
