A waterfront oasis of green in the heart of Honolulu
Midway between downtown Honolulu and the resort districts of Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana Beach Park offers a quiet waterfront oasis amidst the bustle of Hawaii’s capital.
The green lawns of this 100-acre park are a favorite with locals, who come to picnic in the shade of banyan and palm trees, walk the waterfront pathways, swim or paddleboard. The park is family-friendly, with restrooms, showers and lifeguards, and its expansive grounds include public tennis courts, concession stands and a music pavilion.
The beach is sheltered by an offshore reef, providing consistently calm waters along the shoreline. When the swell is up out on the reefs, surfers flock to offshore breaks with names like Big Rights, Bomboras and Courts, providing beach goers with a show of wave-riding prowess.
