Waimanalo Bay State Park, Oahu, Hawaii
Waimanalo Bay is one place rarely visited by tourists, that has one of the
Oahu Beaches that will leave you in awe of the fact that you had no idea it existed in Oahu.
Waimanalo beach on a sunny day is jaw-droppingly drop dead gorgeous -
turquoise blue waters and miles of some of the softest white sand
your will toes will ever touch!
Prehistoric Oahu is what comes to mind when entering the Waimanalo.
Oahu beach along with its northern neighbor, Bellows Beach Park, are some of
Hawaii’s undiscovered gems. Together they make up over a 3
mile stretch of pristine beach front.
Lani Kai Beach and Kailua Beach tend to get all the prestige, but quiet
Waimanalo Bay shares the same magical windward (eastern) coast.
It’s usually not crowded, and remains one of Oahu ’s unspoiled beauties
hardly ever discovered by tourists.
Waimanalo is located on the southeastern corner of Oahu ,
and commonly known as the Paniolo (rancher/cowboy) countryside.
And without knowing the beauty of its perfectly turquoise blue shoreline,
you might pass right through the small town and never realize what you missed.
Located about a 45-minute drive from famous Waikiki Beach,
Waimanalo is the kind of place that makes you blink to make sure you're not dreaming.
The main attraction here is the ocean, which looks azure blue even on a cloudy day.
At around 3 miles (4.8 km) long, Waimanalo Bay is lined by the longest uninterrupted
white-sand beach on Oahu. It's the perfect place for the ultimate beach stroll.
Much of Waimanalo Beach is backed by ironwood trees, which provide plenty of shade.
There are two main access points to the beach (two beach parks), one near
the southern end of the beach and one near the northern end. The southern
one is called Waimanalo Beach Park, located across from Nakini Street.
This beach park has showers, restrooms, a pavilion, picnic tables and
a lifeguard tower. The northern access (between Aloiloi Street and Tinker Road)
leads through an ironwood forest to the Waimanalo Bay State Recreation Area.
It has the same facilities and a lifeguard tower, plus a camping area
where camping is allowed with a permit
Since Waimanalo Beach is located on Windward Oahu, it faces the prevailing
northeasterly trade winds, which can be quite breezy.
Waimanalo Beach is known for being a good body boarding
beach since the waves are not too high and break close to shore.
Waimanalo Beach is a silent refuge on most weekdays when you can have
a good stretch of the beach to yourself. But on weekends, the grills and
picnic tables get a serious workout. Locals gather for all-day barbecues
and visitors come to sunbathe, swim and have fun.
