Kaiona Beach Park
Park
👍👍 I visited this beach for the first time with my kids on a Sunday. When we arrived around 11am it wasn't very crowded. We walked up the beach to the left and found a comfortable spot with plenty of space. The water was calm enough to take my kids snorkeling and we even found an awesome old bottle on...

Wawamalu Beach Park
Park
👍👍 This is a great place to hang, get a little sun, wade in the water and play around the rocks. If you look where the water makes little ponds in the shore rocks, you can find all kinds of cute little sea creatures. We especially love when we find stunning little tropical fish just hanging out and pla...

Kawaikui Beach Park
Park
👍👍 This place is beautiful if you just want to chill out. Lots of fishermen and surfers come here as the water is very shallow but it's not beachy...only a few spots along the beach to comfortably sit. It's a slope. Other than I love this park. You can definitely throw a mean cookout here. Also catch e...

Koko Kai Beach Mini Park
Park
👍👍 It was a small place but the other side was pretty crowded but mostly with surfers. The surfers were waiting for big waves here and was surfing along the rocks which looked scary but they might be professional.
The view was amazing and the wastes crashed on the rocks which was spectacular to view fr...

👍👍 This beach is a must for small children and dogs! It was a bit crowded when we visited on a Sunday afternoon but everyone was so spread out so its easy to find a spot to relax.

Maunawili Falls
Park
👍 A much more challenging hike than my family was expecting, so if you have small children please be prepared to do a lot of work keeping them safe. The trail isn't exactly dangerous, but it isn't well maintained in many areas and after the rain, the entire trail at the base of the hills become super...

Kawainui Marsh Bike Trail

👍👍 What a beautiful place to walk/bike/run . Very well taken care of, casual location and very easy trail for all ages. Large enough if you need a little distance but short enough for little kids (like I have). If you need a chill walk on a Sunday afternoon, try this trail. Fair warning, not a lot of s...
