Waimanalo Beach featuring a sandy beach, a sunset and landscape views

Waimanalo Beach

4.5/5(676 reviews)

Ride the waves on a bodyboard and sunbathe on the sand at one of Oahu's most popular beaches, known for its starring roles in two top television shows.

Waimanalo Beach
Have you ever seen a more perfect beach than Bellows Beach 🏖? Literally, I was speechless!!😶White sand powder, gorgeous clear teal beach and warm water.💦 This Beach on my picture is located inside the military base. However, there is an area outside of the base that’s dedicated for public use. But it is not nearly as stunning as this one. Besides the Lanikai Beach, this one is another of my favorite place to swim.

Bellows Field Beach Park

Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Bellows Field Beach Park during your travels in Waimanalo? Discover the art scene in this family-friendly area, or seek out its biking trails.

Bellows Field Beach Park
If you walk onto Kaiona beach from the small parking lot with the pink toned house/building, which is usually full, walk through the water to the right and you'll find this dock. It is in someone's backyard, they get a lot of people for pictures, and they're usually outside so you can and should ask permission kindly before doing so and they shouldn't have a problem!!!

Kaiona Beach Park

4.5/5(2 reviews)

Kaiona Beach Park
Makapuu Beach featuring a sandy beach, swimming and rugged coastline

Makapuu Beach

3.5/5(2 reviews)

One of O’ahu’s less-crowded beaches offers great boogie boarding and tide pool exploration with convenient nearby access to elevated views of the island.

Makapuu Beach
This is a very hard place to find if you do not know where to turn off the hike. To find this you'll need to hike Makapu'u Lighthouse, but will need to take a turn off the trail and down a cliff. This could be dangerous, so make sure that you go with someone experienced and to check the tide. If the tide is high, DO NOT GO because the waves will break into the tide pools and possibly sweep you in the ocean. The view is beautiful and you see many fish swimming in the tide pools.
