Tired of Overpriced Tourist Food in Shark's Cove?

Paying $20+ for Mediocre Food

Hawaii prices, mainland quality. Most tourist spots charge premium prices for frozen seafood and bland portions.

Starving After a Day at the Beach

You've been surfing, snorkeling, or hiking all day. The last thing you want is a 45-minute wait at a sit-down restaurant.

Limited Dining Options Nearby

The North Shore is beautiful but rural. Fresh, affordable food the whole family loves is hard to find.

About Our Shark's Cove Location

Our Shark's 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.

Shark's Cove is part of the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District, one of the best snorkeling spots on Oahu during summer. Three Tables Beach is a short walk south, and Waimea Bay is less than a mile down the road. In winter, the nearby surf breaks at Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline draw professional surfers and spectators from around the world. Our food truck keeps you fueled through all of it.

Haleiwa Town is five minutes west, with its surf shops, galleries, and shave ice stands. Ted's Bakery is just up the road toward Kahuku. Waimea Valley, with its botanical gardens and waterfall, is right around the corner. This stretch of Kamehameha Highway is the most visited part of the North Shore, and our food truck is right in the middle of it.
