The North
Shore, in the context of geography of the Island
of Oahu, refers to the north-facing coastal area of Oahu
between Kaena
Point and Kahuku
Point. The largest settlement is Haleiwa.
The northern
hemisphere winter months on the North Shore see a concentration
of surfing activity,
taking advantage of swells originating in the stormy North
Pacific. Notable surfing spots include Banzai
Pipeline and Sunset
Beach.
The Fox Network
TV show North
Shore was filmed in the area, as were the last few
seasons of Baywatch.
ABC's Lost
is also filmed on O?ahu.
Much of it is filmed on The North Shore although other areas
on O?ahu
are also used. The North Shore includes the area known as
Turtle
Bay where the rock formations and constant rolling surf
make it ideal as a backdrop for Lost.
