Ohiki-lolo Beach
10 Matty Mac

This place was amazing with breathtaking views. It offers plenty of tide pools for swimming and cooling off. The water is crystal clear, but I suggest wearing water shoes if you plan on exploring further out and climbing on the rocks. It's a secluded spot where anything goes, perfect for a peaceful picnic or some quiet time away from the crowds. I hope this information is helpful and wish you a fantastic day.

Ko Olina Lagoon beach

Wow! This resort is absolutely stunning! The lagoons provided a perfect setting for both relaxation and swimming for kids! I also really appreciate the convenient sidewalk that connects to each lagoon. The food, drinks, service, and staff were all outstanding!

Ko Olina Lagoon II beach
8 Adam Rennick

The Four Lagoons offer a delightful experience of swimming and unwinding on the sandy shores. The beach is open to the public, which means you can enjoy the lagoons without having to stay at the nearby resorts. However, the only drawback is parking, which can be a challenge. You may have to arrive early to secure a spot or opt for paid parking near the shops and restaurants.

Makaha beach
10 Javier Sanchez Diaz

This beach is truly breathtaking, offering some of the best surfing opportunities around. However, it's not just for surfers - we found it to be a great spot for swimming during our visit. Plus, the convenience of washrooms, change rooms, and showers just across the street made our experience even more enjoyable. For those seeking respite from the sun, there are some lovely shady trees located on the north end near the surfing area. And to top it all off, we were lucky enough to catch a stunning sunset during our stay.

Nānākuli Beach Park
10 Larisa K.

As a local, I highly recommend this beach for its serene and peaceful atmosphere with minimal tourist crowds. However, it's important to be cautious of some individuals who may behave inappropriately. Fortunately, a vigilant lifeguard is always present to ensure safety. While the waves may appear daunting, they are actually quite gentle, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing swim. The water is crystal clear, allowing for a glimpse of marine life such as whales and sea turtles. Just be mindful of the sudden drop-off in depth. Overall, this beach offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
