The northern access to Waimanalo Bay's roughly 3-mile beach, the longest uninterrupted white-sand beach on Oahu, reached through ironwoods, with Manana (Rabbit Island) on the southern horizon.
Practical
Restrooms, showers, picnic tables, lifeguard tower and parking; camping by permit at Waimanalo Bay State Recreation Area. The southern Waimanalo Beach Park (21.3319,-157.6948) is closer to the village. Shorebreak can be powerful; bodyboarding is popular. Parking fills on weekends; keep valuables out of sight. From the water, see Waimanalo Bay (Inside the Reef) for small-craft access.
