Kahana Bay Beach Park — Attraction in Oʻahu

Kahana Beach Park turned out to be an excellent decision for us. After indulging in some delicious acai bowls from Coconut Joe, we decided to make our way to this park, and it was a moment of pure serendipity.

This park offers a combination of tranquility and stunning views that make it an ideal spot to relax and savor your food. We found a quiet spot to sit down, and as we enjoyed our acai bowls, we were treated to the soothing ambiance of the park. What made it even more special was the relative lack of crowds during our visit, allowing us to relish the peacefulness even more.

I was concerned about campsites 9 and 10, which are furthest from the parking area, but we safely parked alongside the road closer to the camp sites...

Kahana Bay is awesome. It has a large beach area with olenty of shade. Far enough away from the big breaks to have little kids play in the water. There is one part of the beach where there are still big enough breaks to learn to surf or body board. It is shallow and no rocks under your feet so you can enjoy the water. The views are awesome. If you like paddleboarding, there is a little river that you can take that will lead you from one side of the beach to another. There is a lot of parking, but on weekends it gets full. They have picnic tables, port a johns, and fresh water showers. The only downfall is that a lot of the time there is seaweed that washes up to the edge of the water and...
