Kahanamoku Beach — Attraction in Honolulu

This place isn't as crowded as Waikiki Beach, and the waves are gentle, making it easy for children to play. Today, the wind was a bit strong, but with occasional clouds, it wasn't too hot even without a parasol, making it comfortable.😊 04/28/2024 Today was clear and windless, making it perfect for tanning, so we relaxed at the beach. As a result, we got a nice tan.🌞 05/12/2024 Today, we enjoyed snorkeling at the southern end of Kahanamoku Beach, next to the Hilton Lagoon. The waves were high, and there were several surfers beyond the breakwater. Inside the breakwater, there were fewer people, and when we swam to the edge, we saw colorful fish and the water was relatively clear. The sandy beach is clean, but it quickly becomes rocky.

Darkness descended and night brought out people playing with illuminated sling shot devices that floated to earth shining in the evening air.

By this time, the majority of beach goers had departed. It was pleasant evening for us but we were lucky to have found a parking spot on this week...

This beach is pretty nice. They keep the beach decently clean, the water is nice and warm, the view of the sunset is spectacular and provides a great silhouette of people in the background if you like photography.
