Punalu'u Beach Park — Attraction in Oʻahu

We happened to stop at one of the beach areas here while just driving around and "WOW!"...a really beautiful place. MUCH less crowded than the one at Waikiki and offers a different a experience altogether. Tranquility, peacefulness and just calm beauty. It was our last day here for this visit and we were just taking a drive around the island...I wish I would found this while side of the island earlier and spent more time here.

If you don't know how to pull off and on to a busy highway, just move it along to the next area instead of putting people in danger!

Visited Punalu'u Beach Park as part of a tour with my partner in May 2024. The black sand beach was lovely loads of rock pools with wild life to enjoy watching and we saw loads of sea turtles. There was loads of nice walks you can do, the was nice places to sit and have lunch and admire to views. There was plenty parking and restrooms which were clean.
