Latest reviews on Kaneohe's beaches

Kaimana Beach
10 Zalora PR.

This beach is just like any other, with nothing particularly special to offer. Sure, the sunset is picturesque, but who cares? And those monk seals? They were probably just there to catch some Z's, not to entertain you. The soft music and chit chat from various individuals and groups is just noise pollution. In short, don't waste your time here.

Hickam Beach
10 Zyra Nalae

The lavatories are spick and span, and there are both indoor and outdoor showers to rinse off the sand. The beach is teeming with picnic tables, so you can chow down on your sandwiches without getting sand in your grub. The waves are petite, so the little ones can paddle around without getting swept away. It's a safe and hygienic spot, with no whiff of marijuana or any smashed windows to be seen. But make sure to give the rules a once-over before you saunter onto the sand. If you're using Google Maps, aim for The Lanai At Mamala Bay instead of Hickam Beach, or you might end up at the airport's secure gate with no way in. And if you're into wind boarding, this is the place to be!

Secret Beach
10 Samantha J Hayes Smith

This beach is perfect for snorkeling! As a first-timer, I had an incredible experience seeing a variety of tropical fish and even getting close to a sea turtle. The only requirement to access the beach is being in the military or knowing someone who is. Getting there is a breeze and the water is calm, but it's best to bring water shoes to avoid getting cut by the coral. I'm already looking forward to returning soon!

Diamond Head Beach
10 Luna Alvarez

There is a stunning cave hidden in the heart of Kamasutra Beach Park, which you can discover by gazing at the mountains rather than the beach. It is truly breathtaking!

Sand Island Beach
10 Nora Jenson.

The beach is a serene and secluded cove that offers a different kind of snorkeling experience on calm days. It is home to a diverse range of endemic creatures that are not commonly found elsewhere. If you venture towards the right, you will find decent surfing opportunities where the swells are good. Additionally, there is an admirable coral restoration project underway beyond the break walls, although it is disheartening to see so much fishing line and lead scattered around. The beach tends to get crowded with locals on weekends, and the only available facilities are porta-johns, with no showers.

Maunalua Bay Beach Park
8 Larisa Novotná

We were fortunate enough to have the beach all to ourselves. The sand was pleasantly warm and the gentle breeze added to the relaxing atmosphere. However, the surf and waves were quite intense and required a fair amount of effort to swim in. It's important to be cautious of the rocky sections to avoid any injuries. The powerful surf can easily sweep away even the strongest adult.
