What travellers are saying
- Alyona S1 contributionI was here with my work team and spent a couple days mostly on my own. What I would do differently: I would rent a chairs/umbrella set at the Royal
Hawaiian hotel. It’s $100 a day but would be well worth it. You can book this online but have to do it ahead of time. There are other vendors that will set up chairs and umbrella for you, I did this but it was late in the day so I was rows behind other people. Wish I secured my spot in the am.
I stayed at the outrigger Beachcomber - a block away from the beach. They also have a cafe with great baristas.
Dukes was great for dinner. Surf lanai for breakfast. We also did a party boat which was a ton of fun, highly recommend.Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stacy s10 contributionsThe park sits under the watchful eye of Diamond Head along the beaches of Waikiki. Families enjoying picnics, couples playing tennis, youth soccer games, and music at the bandshell- fabulous place.Written 30 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary4,382 contributionsKaimana Beach was a really cool place with a lot of surfers and swimmers. The waves were just so nice with the Diamond Head in the background.Written 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Usia2014Calgary, Canada1,955 contributionsWe love this beach and it’s especially great for families with small children as it’s nice and sandy and shallow with clear water. The break wall protects it from the surf and waves so it’s very flat and calm. Our three small grandkids (including a 10 month old) loved being there every day during our holiday. The sunsets are amazing from here too!Written 23 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- london057Dublin, OH680 contributionsFirst of all this a better beach than Waikiki. Second the water is claim even in the winter. Third this a public beach.

- Carter BCasper, WY70 contributionsReally cool little inlet that is the setting for multiple movie scenes from ‘50 First Dates’ to ‘From here to Eternity’ (hence the name) and several more. A little climb to get down but nothing difficult if able bodied. Saw a few turtles lounging in the tidal pools.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- StephLong Island, NY60 contributionsIf you're a strong swimmer and up for a little adventure, Halona Beach Cove is a fun spot to check out. You'll have to hike down a rocky hill to reach the beach, and the water's rough with some rocks, but jumping in for a swim is worth it!
There's even a spot on the rocks where you can jump in-just be careful, as the waves can toss you around.
Not the best beach for young kids since the waves are intense, and there are no facilities. Heads-up: I saw some mice snacking on a woman's food while she swam, and I picked up some trash others left behind. Despite that, there are some incredible photo spots by the water and on the rocks. Gorgeous spot overall-just take care when going for a swim!Written 12 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is walking distance to many of the hotels at the end of Waikiki. So it was very easy to get to from our hotel (Hyatt Place) and not a long walk for our grand daughters aged 3 and 5. They loved it when the waves came up to their ankles on the beach. Also, it was fun watching the surfers on the ocean and local boys diving from the wall into the water. Sun sets were amazing over the water!Written 23 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary4,382 contributionsThe Diamond Head Beach Park is long strip of narrow sandy area with steep hills on one side.

- Tammy MCrowley, LA23 contributionsWe were lucky enough to be able to have our wedding ceremony at this location! It was so beautiful and made our day so very special!

- ITRTVirginia46,380 contributionsWhat is confusing to the visitor is the number of times the name of a beach changes. Ewa (Kapilina) Beach on Iroquois Point in a secured community. However, Hawaii’s public beach access law makes it illegal to prohibit beach access. When you arrive at the gate, simply tell the guard you are going to the beach. The guard checks your driver’s license and makes note of your license plate number and then you can enjoy Kapilina Beach. The sand is full of pebbles and the sunset we saw was just okay. Dogs are allowed on this beach. There was live music and a food venue called D’Lish at the Beach (food was lousy). There are picnic tables with shades scattered throughout. Only residents are allowed to use the sunshades on the beach itself. However, restrooms and showers are available to all. The beach has been known as Pu'uloa Beach, formerly Iroquois Point Beach, and Ewa Beach. I did enjoy the live music which I think is available only on weekends.Written 1 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary4,382 contributionsKaka'ako Waterfront Park was really beautiful place, not as much crowded like Waikiki and all the well-known beaches.
It was very relaxing to spend some time in here.Written 19 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
