  • Visit here at sunset to take your photos and you will miss all the crowds fighting for space at Waikiki. There is a lovely little cafe there with a great vibe.

  • The beach was close to our hotel. We walked around the area and enjoyed the view and the beach. We also took a lot of pictures. A few days later, my family went surfing. It was so much fun watching them
  • Very nice scenic park in the shadow of Diamond Head. Lots of space for various activities. We see people flying kites, practicing baseball, walking dogs, and picnicking. Plenty of shaded areas to find small breaks from the sun. So park, pull up a chair, and enjoy some relax time!
  • This is a beautiful park. However, it was overcrowded and there were transients camping out all along the park. Once you get down near the water and walk past the crowd, it is quite peaceful. The park is pretty close to downtown so you can make quick trips there throughout the day if you're staying at a hotel downtown. We had a nice picnic here because there is quite a bit of shade under the large trees.
  • Nice. A big park in Waikiki that has many attractions. The park is easy to get to and quite large! We were here for the Honolulu Marathon and they used the park as the finisher area. Outside of marathon race day the park includes many features like tennis courts picnic areas and more. I think my favorite thing was the convenient access to the aquarium, zoo, beach downtown.
  • Great family park! Oceanside has the beach, walking trails and stunning views. Mountain side has sports fields, the pavilion. Located at the end of Waikiki with amazing views of Diamond Head and the ocean.
