Best beach on all of the Hawaiian islands, if you're able to get on to Hickam Air Force base. Lottery is about 14 to 18 in deep and stays that way for about half a mile or more. You can float in there all day and you will not be washed away to see, plus you get to see both military and commercial jets fly overhead every few minutes. The water is super warm because it is so shallow, so that's my favorite beach on all of the Hawaiian Islands. The beach huts are from around the World War 1 time frame and are currently in limbo because the government wants to get rid of them and the historical preservation Society wants to keep them, but doesn't have the money to restore them. These buildings used to be the officers quarters for most of last century. There are two WWI & WWII battery's located on Kamehameha beach, also, currently locked up, with cannons removed.

This beach is beautiful at sunset! The water is so shallow that you can walk out SO far. I can see how this would be the perfect beach for families to bring small children. There are no waves here. They have some picnic tables near the beach too so if you pack some food, perfect place to have a little picnic! Photo that I have attached is by Love & Lenses Photography & Events. She did a photo shoot for us here at sunset and it was just stunning!

This beach is perfect for kids learning how to swim. Shallow out very far. Need Military base access to get to this spot. If you have a friend or family member with US Military ID they can sponsor you on base if you are in the same vehicle. Only thing to be aware of There are some sea urchins to watch out for, and Keawe trees that do leave thorns on the sand so be aware of that.

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Not crowded, not rocky, we swam and in the waves for hours two days in a row. Nice showers/barhrooms, bbqs, and parking. Other nearby beaches much rockier. Saw a big sea turtle, some silver fish schools, and there is shade. The undertow was pretty strong on one side, so moved around a little headland and had a great time!

One of my favorite beaches. Never crowded and the water is clear and calm. Very shallow and no drop off points. Fun, family beach. Great for young kids because there are very small waves and the water is shallow. You get a great view of the West side of the island.

I mean, if you have access to this beach, then you know how lucky you are. Wear shoes through the grass access (thorns). Water gets no deeper than waist high. Navy ships and subs cruising right past you. Great sunsets over Iroquois Point. Low tide brings sand bars.
