Kapiolani Park Beach

Looking out toward views of Diamond Head Crater, the beach blends an open shoreline with casual park pastimes. Along the grass and sand, people take to picnic benches in the sea breeze or tackle slacklines set up for balance challenges. Consistent waves break offshore, though waders will encounter rough coral in the wash close to the water's edge. When the midday sun gets intense, the adjoining grounds make it easy to retreat into cool shelter without leaving the ocean behind.
