Ala Moana Beach

During the past visits to Honolulu, we have not been able to see the Friday fireworks mainly due to dinner engagements at restaurants. But on this recent visit, we got together with Peter C and Li Y and to watch the fireworks at Ala Moana Park.We decided to picnic at the park and we bought food from Foodland and dessert from Pipeline. We set out tarps on the ground and sat along a wall to enjoy our food and catch up on life. We even saw a nice sunset looking out towards the water. Then at 7:45, we were able to see the fireworks shoot up from the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village. A great evening with friends and we finally saw the fireworks too!

In 2019, we wanted to come here, but we ended up not having enough time so, after my work trip in 2024, in Honolulu, I chose this Beach to come to. It was also close by to our hotel & easy to get to by car. Also, it seemed as though, it still wasn't busy, which was great. Had a good time, relaxing after a week of work.Was it the best? I don't think so, but like I said, it was convenient, and we haven't been here until that time. Also, the water was a little bit murky. Some of our coworkers that live in Hawaii did warn us about that. We still wanted to check it out anyways.Highlight: We did see a turtle pop up his head in the water. :)

Located across from the shopping mall for walkers. Large parking lot but fills up fast. Clean restrooms & showers.Expansive sandy beach to escape the tourist crowded Waikiki.Beautiful beach.

Great beach away from busy Waikiki but not too far either. It's located across the street from the mall. There's a huge parking lot but there's also a lot of activities there's so it does get busy. They have a path to walk or run and a park area especially to watch the sunset.

We really enjoy this beach! Tons of sand, great water access, easy parking, straight across from the mall. There are a few homeless people but they never bother and the beach can get a little littered because of the constant influx of people coming and going so be sure to pick up after yourself. TIPS & TRICKS: * There are lots of things that happen at Ala Moana Beach Park, races, yoga, paddle boarding, water polo. Just hop online and see what's happening when you're here! * Bring food and water and post up all day, it's a nice spot. Plus there is L&L BBQ right here as well if you're feeling like a local Hawaiian plate!

Home of our recent college reunion. Thrilled to see we could reserve a designated space in advance. And we were fortunate to grab the space at the very beginning of the Magic Island Parking lot. Important while planning this reunion for over a year to bring people from Canada, Taiwan, and continental United States together again.Appreciate the convenient and more thanks clean restrooms and showers. Also appreciate the GREAT abundance of shade in the area !Because of proximity, parking was a breeze. Also convenient to our chosen host hotel, the Ala Moana Hotel which provided easy walking distance.

A Beautiful night view with calm weather! The night breeze was very comfy on my skin and you'll get to see the breathtaking scenery of the city! It's a really nice walking spot personally and of course day time for sun bathing and swimming! We got to see sea turtles while we were snorkeling Recommended place for sure! :)

Times have changed guys.This beach is safer than before (security, well lit, recently remodeled), clean (some of the clearest waters I've seen on this side of the island, functioning showers, lots of trash cans, people cleaning the beach daily of litter), and it's conveniently located close to everything!Easy to find on Google Maps, lots of parking, and the sense of community? CRAZY!If you ever need to witness the statement that Hawai'i is a melting pot I encourage you to come here on a Saturday morning at 5:30 AM. People from all over are enjoying the splendor of our state. Always felt welcomed and have had good conversations with strangers here.

The beauty of Honolulu...Though there's another page for the Regional Park and Magic Island as well this beach certainly is Ala Moana Beach.Place for us all to gather for a swim, sun and relax among this public beach the stunning endless view of the beautiful blue ocean is one that we all still come and enjoy for various reasons. Mine is usually for the sunset and photo ops whenever I want to take pics of various jewelry I made or on this visit a work bestie who surprised me with a early Easter goodies.Truly a beautiful gift of a potted pink rose with a Peep and various treats and the cutest pink bunny has me thinking that I really need to take a picture of it properly and what better place than right here at Ala Moana Beach. The waves here are very mellow and calming just listening to the waves crashing is so soothing what a wonderful way to capture the sunset at the end of my day.Thank you!

Ive yet to find a bad beach in Honolulu. Beautiful sand and views. Lifeguard on duty. Love the shower on the beach and changing areas.
