| Activities...
The House at Log Cabins is
centrally located, close to many North Shore treasures, and offers myriad
activities. It’s easy. The only difficulty is choosing which one you’ll
do at any moment!
| Surfing: Log
Cabins, a fun wave from the 4-6 foot range is right out front. Just
down the beach are famous breaks like Waimea Bay, Banzai and
Backdoor Pipeline, Rocky Point and Sunset Beach. Other less crowded
surf spots—still great by any standards—are also within a short
walk or drive. |
"Rockpiles" left and
right firing 100 yards from the house's front yard. |
Snorkeling: When the surf is not
up you can explore the rocks and reef out front of Log Cabins, but for
better scenery try Shark’s Cove. Just west of the house, Shark’s Cove
has numerous caves, tons of colorful tropical fish, and many sea turtles.
Don’t let the name scare you off, as it’s a very safe snorkeling spot
when the surf is calm.
| Diving and
fishing: SCUBA boats and rental shops are plentiful in Haleiwa for
those who are certified or want to become certified. Fishing boats
also leave from Haleiwa. Surf fishing (fishing off the beach) is
very popular just a short walk down the beach from Log Cabins at Ke
Iki. |
Shark's Cove awaits full of
sea turtles, tropical fish, and many caves for snorkeling &
SCUBA. |
Golf, Tennis, Horseback riding:
The
Turtle Bay Hilton offers 27 championship holes of golf at The Links at
Kuilima, 10 tennis courts, and horseback riding tours. Call 808.293.8811
for more information. Public tennis courts are a 5-minute walk from
the house.
The
Polynesian Cultural Center educates its visitors on the history of
Polynesia and its peoples who populated Hawaii. If you can avoid the tour
bus crowds it is a great stop if you want to bring a little knowledge home
along with your suntan.

Bike/run/walk:
The bike path is a new addition
to the North Shore, completed in 1999. It runs separate from Kam Highway
along the beach and past the ocean front homes. A good portion of the path
is shaded by trees that arch above it, providing a cool place to walk,
jog, Rollerblade or bike. If you have your own mountain bikes and
ask around, you can find excellent single-track trails in the nearby
Pupukea and Sunset hills areas.
