Magic Island Lagoon at Ala Moana Beach Park, Oahu

The Magic Island Lagoon is located on the south shore of Ala Moana Beach Park on the south side of Oahu, Hawaii.

This is a man made peninsula with a large seawall that blocks the waves so the lagoon is usually very calm.

It also has a small coral reef for snorkeling.

There is a lifeguard on duty, lots of green space with picnic tables and public bathrooms.

This is where it is located on Oahu.

When we got there, we found that there is a large free parking lot.

After parking, we walked the paved trails over to the lagoon.

They also have public bathrooms too.

There was a lot of open green space, trees with shade, and picnic tables.

As we got to the lagoon, we saw that there was a lifeguard on duty.

We went out onto the beach, laid out our towels and decided to get in the water to do some snorkeling.

After snorkeling, we got out and dryed off and laid out in the sun. It was so beautiful to take in these views.

Overall, we had a great time here and would definitely go again.
