Directions

Honolulu's largest urban beach park stretches nearly a mile along a protected lagoon, making it ideal for swimming, picnicking, and people-watching. Locals come here for morning runs, outrigger canoe paddling, and weekend barbecues — it's far more of a neighborhood park than a tourist destination. The calm, reef-protected water is excellent for families and beginner swimmers. Parking fills quickly on weekends, so arrive early or take TheBus.
