👍 Decent little beach located on the south end of Sand Island. Lots of history down in this area. There are also local fishermen, homeless, and stray cats.

Queens Beach

Beach

👍 Great place to surf mid spring. Paddle boarding is also great. Life guard is on duty. Also fun for the kids to bring their body board on the shore break. Wouldn't recommend for children younger than three. You can feed the fish bread and snorkel with them just off the wall to the right. There are mo...

Cromwell's Beach

Beach

👍 A nice beach along the base on Diamond Head. There aren’t many trees for shade so the best times to visit are mornings and afternoons. Look for parking along the streets in this residential area. There are no lifeguards, showers or restrooms here but don’t let that stop you from enjoying this little...

Kuhio Beach Park

👍👍 Hawaii was a dream! Kuhio state Park is a must see in Honolulu. My 5 am morning walks were peaceful and safe. Love the fresh hair and the cold sand in my feet. Safest, most Beautiful place ever…

Kapiolani Park Beach

Beach

👍👍 Best free beach in Waikiki for snorkeling! I saw at least 6-7 different varieties of fish including the state fish of Hawaii - the reef triggerfish. You have to be careful as the water is very shallow at certain points, and you could end up too close to the reef floor. Better to wear water shoes to...

Tonggs Beach

Beach

👍👍 Great place to watch the sunset or enjoy a walk above the water on the beach walkway. Great place to foil.

4.40 (67 reviews) (~6.32 km from centre)

Waikīkī Beach Center

Beach

👍👍 Lovely calm beach. Located infront of the Hyatt. It's more of a giant swimming pool, as the rock wall blocks any waves. It gets very crowded during the day. It's convenient, and nice, but there are much nicer beaches on Oahu!

4.90 (58 reviews) (~4.68 km from centre)

Kāhala Beach

Beach

👍 Good for pictures, especially during sunset/rise because the scenery is very nice, but this isn't a great place to go swimming. The water is murky with a lot of rocks, and it's super shallow for a long stretch. If you want to take your kids/pets to safely play in water, this would be a good place, b...

4.60 (51 reviews) (~8.96 km from centre)

Hickam Beach

Beach

👍 Beautiful small beach on Hickam Airforce base. Military base access is required. Life guard on duty. Those with a military sponsor or DoD civilian can use the beach, rent kayak or SUP board at Hickam Beach office. Sail boats and covered Hickam Beach cabana can be rented at the Marina MWR office. Bat...

Kahanamoku Beach

Beach

👍👍 Always a lovely beach to enjoy, whether staying at the Hilton or visiting from another hotel. Only downsides are the amount of people, typically most coming from the Hilton Hawaiian village, but always room to place a towel down. Tons of reef just a small swim away from shore as well, great for snor...

👍👍 I loved this beach! First of all nice long sandy beach, with parking spots in front, paid or free for 2 hours! There’s toilets a snack not far, showers and the most important you can snorkel there ! I saw lots of fishes!

4.50 (40 reviews) (~5.52 km from centre)

Ala Moana Beach

Beach

👍👍 Love this section of the beach. You can see Diamond Head from here as well as the Waikiki skyline plus downtown Honolulu. It’s also less crowded on this side of the beach. A volleyball court is nearby along with outdoor showers and even another L&L Barbecue. Love it…
