About

Found on Oahu, Waiʻalae Beach Park (Kahala beach) lies at 4925 Kahala Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816, United States, along the Kahala shoreline east of Waikiki.

Reaching the park from Waikiki or central Honolulu takes only a short drive, and cars are the main form of transport on the Hawaiian islands, with Oahu running public bus services as well. The park occupies a stretch of coast on the island's southern side, where the leeward conditions keep the weather drier than the windward coast. This is a beach park, known for its sandy frontage and calm water close to shore. A 4.5 out of 5 average from 1,561 reviews makes it one of the most reviewed spots of its kind on Oahu.

Honolulu sits just to the west, so the park pairs easily with a day in the city.

Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely in Hawaiian home cooking and lunch plates, the sort of food packed for a beach day. Hawaiian monk seals and green sea turtles live in Hawaiian waters and haul out on its beaches, so visitors should keep their distance from any animal resting on the sand.
