Waialae Beach Park, Oahu Hawaii
The rarely crowded and quiet Waialae Beach Park is one of the most sought wedding locations in Oahu. This narrow, golden sand beach located along Kahala Avenue on the shores of Oahu is fronted by a grassy lawn with palm, giant banyan, and hau trees. In the distance, the Koolau Mountains provide a magnificent backdrop while on one side of the beach a peninsula juts out into the ocean, leading to a lush green island.
Also known as Kahala Beach, Waialae Beach Park is conveniently located next to a resort and a golf club in South Shore Oahu. A river runs in the middle of the park and flows right into the ocean while a bridge arches over the channel, connecting the two sections of the park. This free public beach has pavilions and picnic tables, which make it excellent for picnicking. In fact, Waialae Beach Park is frequented more for picnicking than for swimming. The narrow and long sanded Waialae Beach has a shallow offshore reef. The beach makes poor swimming but water is clear enough for snorkeling. Offshore breaks provide fair surfing conditions.
On the other hand, wind and Waialea Beach make it great for kite surfing. Kayaking is another popular activity here.
Services and amenities: no lifeguards, restrooms, showers, picnic tables, pavilions, parking
