This beach is a gem for Lā’ie. Although it is a public beach with several public access points, there is no public vehicle parking or even pull out making it rather secluded and traffic overall low; most visitors seem to be residents of Lā’ie or those staying in a local residence.

The beach is well protected from big waves. Even with moderate winds that generate significant wave action on the north/east coast of Oah’u, the waves here stay calm and swimable. There are numerous rocky spots in the surf zone which make for a rough go on your feet while you’re wading out. That said, the best spot I found if you’re looking for no rocks/swimming with a very nice sandy bottom, is at the public access pathway kiddy corner/north east of the McDonalds, next to the public transit bus stop (basically intersection of Kamehameha Hwy and Naniloa Loop). Swim where this public access path brings you to the beach and you will have an enjoyable experience.
