the North Shore

North Shore Country Market

A Saturday market on the school field at Sunset Beach.

Why go

It is the North Shore feeding itself rather than performing for anyone, and it is a hundred metres from the beach.

The catch

Saturday morning only, and it does not run every week of the year. Small, and parking is on the highway verge.

Saturday morning on a North Shore day

Before you go

  • Closed Sunday and Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday
  • Busiest at first light

Getting there

Driving times on real roads, from the same data the trip planner routes on — not straight-line distance.

From Waikīkī59 min34.7 miles
From HNL airport1 hr 1 min31.2 miles
From Hale‘iwa1 min0.2 miles
From Turtle Bay27 min12 miles

Add traffic. These are free-flowing times, and the H1 through town at eight in the morning is not free-flowing.
