Malaekahana Beach

Very beautiful beach and it wasn't crowded at all. We luckily found parking in their small lot. I believe it's about maybe 15 spots? There's a bathroom and rinse station and a very short 1 minute walk from the parking lot to the beach. The water is so pretty and had moderate sized to calm waves, easy to swim in. We were here for almost 3 hours and the temperature was perfect even in the sun with no shade.

This place is amazing because we had option to do vehicle camping and we had a van and also a truck with a group of us all together and everything was laid out specifically instructions were easily to be understood, and the directions were easy, especially going in and out with through the gate arm was an easy, smooth transition. We had a lot of fun we went fishing and we were 20 to 30 feet away from the beach. Because a lot of fish and grilled it right on the grill basically from ocean to grill super fresh and the ocean was super clear one of those where you jump in the ocean and you come out with salt on your body so that just goes to tell you that the area is clean and not many people are in the area because the water is clean and very salty. The interesting part is there is a lot of people there a different sections in different zones and everybody's all friendly. You can hear them talk you can hear the music it was like a village everyone All camping having a good time, roasting, marshmallows, kids, walking around and running around. It was like a village right after Ocean, thank you for the experience and looking forward to another camping expedition again.

For a person who's lived most of her life on Oahu, I'm surprised I've never heard of Malaekahana Beach before. This beach is absolutely stunning! It's perfect for romantic strolls, fun in the sun with your kids, swimming, body surfing, camping (yes, there's a campground site!), and even shore fishing. It was not over crowded with people. And the ocean when I was there was calm and inviting. This beach definitely sends serene vibes and is somewhere to go to get away from the city and leave your busy thoughts behind.The only issue is there is very limited parking, and the parking lot is locked in the evening. So you will need to leave the parking lot before it closes unless you want your vehicle to stay over night.I was told this is a very popular place to go camping and has a year out wait list (yikes!) But once you see this beach, you'll know exactly why so many believe it's worth the wait!

A beautiful place located in Kahuku. They book up fast so I was lucky to get a spot for my family and I. We rented cabin 13. You get partial beach view, blocked by a tree that has a shower under it. There is another cabin about 15 ft away, I was worried about noise from another family but, thankfully when we stayed there it was empty. Our cabin was nice. A pair of bunk beds and a room with another bed. The only down fall is our room didn't lock. Someone one must have broken it and who ever repaired it didn't do a good job you can easily pull it back open. Thankful I packed a stick that was able to be used for extra security on the track of the door. Otherwise the nights were amazing for star gazing, the beaches are clean with minimal people, and a much needed vacation for family bonding and relaxing. Would recommend again. Also, they have camp cats and one became our guest while we stayed, no big deal we're animals lovers. I must say they have a donation box in the front at check in for the cats but, these cats seem a little skinny and not fixed maybe something they can work on.

I've been coming here for yearssss!!!! Great place for the family to meet at because there's usually a lot of parking and there's just so much space to play outdoor activities and the beach is nice. It is a beautiful beach, great for camping, swimming and even fishing. I do not recommend coming here in a small vehicle because it can be very challenging, just because the parking lot area has a lot of dips/ditches/potholes(whatever you want to call it) that will damage your car if you're speeding. So, GO SLOW!!!! Be cautious because some dips are deep and some are wide so it's like playing a game.Tip(s):- bring bug spray (lots of mosquitos)- you might be able to see some peacocks :D - pack well, there's a bit of a walk before getting to the beach and I'm sure you dont want to make more than 1 trip- there are bathrooms but depending on where you "set camp" you may have to walk far.

It's not super crowded which leaves time to just chill. You can walk out to goat island in the morning when tides are low. But watch out for big waves. You can also kayak or bodyboard out in high tides. There are plenty of birds, but most of the island is roped off.By the beach, there are plenty of camping spots. So if you want to get away for awhile, you have options

Not a bad place to camp with family and friends. Located in Kahuku, with lots of beach!! If you like roughing it, this is da place. There are cabins but if not you can just put up a tent. They have bathrooms which is quite clean and not at all bad. 1 stall was plugged with 2 working stalls. 2 of the stalls had curtains that when the wind blows everyone in bathroom can see you doing ur business. Toilet paper is provided but no seat covers. Hand soap not provided either but someone was kind enough to put on one of the sinks. Pretty mellow and quiet with families barbque and chillaxin! The camp grounds do have sinks for you to wash your dishes. Killer views on the beach! Nice place and definitely coming back fo sure!

I'm a sucker for clean beaches and a good ocean breeze. Definitely my kinda beach. There's waves here and rocks in the sand which is probably the only reason from my ranking it to a 5. However the sand is fine, good place to chillax and have a bbq at. There's a shower area with 2 shower heads and a restroom as well. It's in kahuku so you can go get some kahuku shrimp before, after, or both! The environment is nature-like because there are a few trees around. Good for surfing, and also pretty good to catch the sunset! There's a parking lot for the beach and it's not usually packed, or at least for the times I've been there. Bring your family or friends, it'll be awesome. I recommend you to try it out, it's better than your mainstream beaches haha.

Just found this place while driving around the island, and it's a new favorite spot!Plenty of parking, and very few people. The sand is soft and clean, and some spot towards the northern end are very well shaded. The facilities are small but impeccably clean, probably because it's so isolated. All the room you could want on the sand. Water was a bit chilly and rough for swimming, but we picked a bad weather day.

Absolutely gorgeous scenery, but sadly dirty...I was shocked and stunned by the amount of plastic and trash all around. We only go to north shore beaches but this one made me want to cry it was so dirty. I collect sea glass so I'm no trash prude by any means. The waves were really kicking the day we were here and it looked super fun for board activities. The cabins looked cute. There were signs everywhere about high crime/thefts which was a deterrent to staying longer. Looks like a locals only spot and not at all crowded.
