Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of historic Haleiwa on Oahu’s world-famous North Shore, the parking facility at 66-250 Kamehameha Highway offers convenient open-air surface parking for locals, beachgoers, and island travelers alike. The lot features an open layout with standard marked bays and generous open-sky clearance, making it suitable for standard passenger sedans, rental compacts, convertible sports cars, oversized pickup trucks, and high-clearance SUVs equipped with surf racks. Because it is a level, uncovered lot, drivers of high-roof vans and taller recreational vehicles do not have to worry about low overhead ceilings or tight multi-story ramps.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking area provides an unbeatable home base for exploring historic Haleiwa Town and the surrounding coastal attractions:

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the lot is directly off Kamehameha Highway (Route 83/99), the main thoroughfare traversing Oahu\'s North Shore. Ingress and egress are straightforward, though drivers should use caution during peak mid-afternoon hours when pedestrian foot traffic and sightseeing vehicles create slower movement through Haleiwa Town. For those utilizing public transportation, Oahu Transit Services (TheBus) operates routes 52 and 60 with curbside stops just steps away on Kamehameha Highway, connecting Haleiwa with Wahiawa, Honolulu, and the windward coast.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Haleiwa Town experiences its heaviest vehicular and foot traffic between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, especially on sunny weekends and during winter surf competition season. Arriving before 10:30 AM or later in the afternoon around golden hour ensures easier parking. Always practice Hawaii beach community etiquette by locking your doors, hiding all valuables from plain sight, and keeping rental car belongings fully stowed in the trunk.
