Cromwell's Beach — Attraction in Honolulu

The beach area was strewn with large chunks of concrete and there was not enough sand for even one person to comfortable lay on the beach anywhere and seaweed in the water.

great little hidden beach spot where you can see Doris Duke's home, Shangri La, in the distance. there are only a few pockets where you can lay out to get some sun, but probably good for swimming (and maybe surf?).

recommend street parking on Kulamanu St/Place, if you can find any, then walking in. it's the closest to the beach...
