 Surf and sand |
450 Kawailoa Road Honolulu, HI 96734 United States +1 808 692 5585 http://www.co.honolulu.hi.us/p... |
Windsurfers, a breed apart from regular humans and similar to wave surfers, travel from far-distant corners of the world to hit this top windsurfing beach. When the water is flat, they simply sit and wait. When the wind starts, they head here in droves. If you are not a windsurfer, you can still enjoy the warm waters and gentle surf of this famous, beautiful beach. Barbecue facilities, bathrooms and showers are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Paradise Found |
Kane'ohe Bay Honolulu, HI 96744 United States |
During low tide in Kane'ohe Bay, a sandbar known as Ahu O Laka, emerges, forming a temporary beach in the middle of the bay. The Kane'ohe Bay Sandbar is a favorite spot for recreational boaters to drop anchor, fire up the hibachi and enjoy a cold beer. The panoramic view from the sandbar is breathtaking. The calm turquoise water is home to abundant marine life including turtles and hammerhead sharks. Several tour boat operators run snorkeling and dive tours to the sandbar from Hee'ia Pier in Kaneohe. The tours usually include the use of water toys and lunch. - Shiyana Thenabadu Review © 2007, Wcities |

Picturesque East Honolulu beach |
Mokulua Drive Honolulu, HI 96734 United States |
This is reputed to be one of Oahu's most beautiful beaches—and that is high praise indeed. The aquamarine waters, smooth white sands and gently swaying palm trees epitomize South Pacific Paradise. Of course, when the wind is up, the hordes of energetic windsurfers quickly dissolve any fantasies of being marooned on a tropical island. Still, most of the time, the beach is fairly quiet, and even when it's not, one must gape a bit at the natural beauty of it. Note: As with all Hawai'i beaches, conditions are changeable. Check with the lifeguards or locals before entering the water, and always use caution. Review © 2007, Wcities |
