Waimea beach is a beautiful place in the North Shore, with sandy beach, tall white clock tower and giant waves in the winter. It is where big wave surfers go to surf 25, 30 ft huge waves. But in the summer, it is usually flat but it is great for swimming, snorkeling, sun tanning and rock jumping. This is the famous jumping rock in the North Shore. Jumping off this rock is like jumping off the roof of your house. I took this picture of the rock, noticed a guy just jumped off the rock in the background. My daughter and I both jumped off this rock but she actually jumped three times and I jumped only one. When you are up there and looking down, it is very scary, your heart beats a little faster. But once you commit, there is no going back. The good thing is it is over so quick, you don't even have time to scare. Fun and exciting.
In the winter months, the waves are huge. Just give you an idea how big the waves really are, look at this video at the surfboard shack web site. At the end of the video, you will see the big wave covered the jumping rock and the rock is at least 20 feet tall.
