Haleiwa's Favorite Taco Spot

Sharks Cove (Haleiwa) Main View

Snorkel Spot

Pupukea Beach Park

Our Sharks Cove food truck sits on Kamehameha Highway at Pupukea Beach Park, right across from Foodland Pupukea. Since 2015, we've been the go-to taco spot for snorkelers, surfers, and beachgoers exploring Oahu's North Shore. Grab your tacos at the window and eat at our outdoor picnic tables with a clear view of the Pacific.

We're in the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District — one of Oahu's best summer snorkeling spots, and a front-row seat in winter to the legendary surf at Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Three Tables, Waimea Bay, Waimea Valley, Ted's Bakery, and Haleiwa Town are all a short drive away (see the grid below). This stretch of Kam Hwy is the most visited part of the North Shore — our truck sits right in the middle of it.

★ Common Questions

FAQs

↳ everything you need before you head out

What are the food truck hours?

+

Our Sharks Cove food truck is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Hours may vary slightly by season. Check our website or Instagram for updates.

Where exactly is the Sharks Cove food truck parked?

+

We're parked at 59-712 Kamehameha Highway in Pupukea, directly across the road from Pupukea Beach Park and the Sharks Cove snorkel reserve. Look for the colorful walk-up window and outdoor picnic seating with ocean views.

Does the food truck accept cards or cash only?

+

We accept all major credit and debit cards plus cash. Network signal can be spotty on the North Shore, so cash is a good backup if our card reader is being stubborn. ATMs are available at Foodland Pupukea, about 0.5 miles north.

What's nearby — beaches, attractions, parking?

+

We're steps from world-class snorkeling at Sharks Cove and Three Tables Beach, 3 minutes south of Waimea Bay, 5 minutes north of Banzai Pipeline, and 8 minutes from Sunset Beach. Free street parking along Kam Hwy + a small public lot across the road at Pupukea Beach Park (arrives before 10 AM on weekends for best availability).

Are restrooms available at or near the food truck?

+

Yes — public restrooms are at Pupukea Beach Park across the road and at Sharks Cove proper. We don't have private restrooms at the truck itself, so plan a quick walk for that.
