About This Location
Serving Pupukea and the North Shore Since 2015
Our Sharks Cove food truck sits at 59-712 Kamehameha Highway in Pupukea, right across from the famous tide pools and snorkeling area. The stretch between Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay draws surfers, snorkelers, and families year-round, and our truck has been feeding them since 2015.
Pupukea is part of the Marine Life Conservation District, making Sharks Cove one of the top snorkeling spots on Oahu. After exploring the tide pools or watching surfers charge the Banzai Pipeline a mile up the road, our fish tacos are the perfect post-beach meal.
Whether you are driving in from Haleiwa or coming down from Sunset Beach, we are easy to find on Kamehameha Highway. Parking is available in the Sharks Cove lot and along the highway.
