Waimanalo Beach Park

Waimanalo Beach Park is a beautiful beach located on the southeast side of Oahu, Hawaii.

This beach has free public parking, public bathrooms, a camping area, baseball fields, and a long stretch of beach with amazing turquoise water.

You can see where it's located on the map below.

As you pull into Waimanalo Beach Park, there is a large parking lot, public bathrooms, showers to rinse off, a camping area, baseball fields, and a beautiful beach.

After parking, we started walking over to the beach. There were picnic tables and this amazing view.

We laid out our towels, went for a walk and went swimming in the ocean. The water was too rough for snorkeling, but we would love to come back on a calmer day to see what the snorkeling is like here.

This is a tour of what Waimanalo Beach looks like.

They did have one lifeguard stand so if you are worried about swimming in the water, go swimming in front of the lifeguard just to be safe.

Overall, we had a great time at Waimanalo Beach Park. We definitely want to go back in the summer when the water is calmer to see how the snorkeling is here. Even without snorkeling, this beach was absolutely beautiful.

• Bring reef safe sunscreen.
• Bring your own snorkeling gear if the water is calm.
• Don't leave anything in your car.
