Nimitz Beach

Too bad too many people come here now. Loud music no consideration for anyone. Horrible place on the weekend. Don't bother transplants from everywhere from this side now making this place less Desirable. Can't wait to see Monday when the place is trashed....as usual. Bottom line avoid weekends unless you want to have someone set up a tent next to you and force you out and blast some music that's too loud for any speaker system.

Beautiful, not so crowded military beach. Public Access.Take swim shoes to avoid cuts and breaks to the toes.

There were a lot of tents along the road leading up to the beach; I assume some of the homeless had created a small tent city or families were camping. The beach itself was serene. The waves crashed calmly against the shore line and the sun was slowly dipping below the horizon. There were a few families on the beach but, it was not crowded, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Gazebos with picnic tables line the grassy area just 50 meters from the sand however, they are solely for military use/reservation. Other than the tents lining the road, it was just another uneventful day at the beach! ‍

This park is so cool. Away from most of the crowd (park does get crowded but not overcrowded) There are 3 pavillions but they are reserved for the military. Even without the pavillions this park is a cool alternative. ( no homeless that I could see) Lots of parking...public bathrooms...place to swim with showers..beautiful views...like most beaches in our paradise home its awesome!! Lucky we live Here in Hawaii

This is my favorite beach to go to on the island. I have lived here for seven years now and I find myself going to this beach all of the time! The sunsets are breathtaking and my favorite part is that there is plenty of room and people are not on top of each other on the beach. The waves can be high, so I recommend that you enter the water with caution, especially if you are not that good of a swimmer. It is a great place to watch the sunset and the moonrise. I encourage you to check it out at least once.

I love going around the island and visiting different beaches and I always end up comping back to this one beach. My favorite! Dog friendly but a little rough waters and there sometimes isn't much laying area during high tide so be sure to check before heading out! Ample street parking but fills up fast on holidays and weekends. Family kids and dog friendly!

We originally wanted to go to the beach houses but we soon found out that no pets were allowed. I was so sad!!! But luckily, Nimitz Beach was a few minutes away. There's plenty parking!! We were so lucky!!I was sad to see the amount of trash near the road and grassy areas. I mean the trash can is a few feet away. Anyways, the beach itself is beautiful. It's a great view of Honolulu. Our "neighbors" were helpful too. We forgot our hammer to put our stakes in, but thankfully a man let us borrow a hammer. There's a reef barrier near shore and I liked it. It was a safe area for children and dogs to play in :) My dogs LOVED it!I heard that there's a shower there, but we didn't see and there's no bathroom in sight. I would suggest to plan ahead if you'd like to come to this... or else there's Tamura's down the road :)

Nimitz Beach is accessible for surfing, lounging, picnicking and strolling. At the beginning of this year's (March 2020) pandemic HPD was ticketing surfers parked by the road. Now they'll stroll the beach occasionally or have a post setup further down the road (back to town) checking for beach drinkers in the afternoons or early evenings. ‍The campsite area has been cleaned up and has regular trash removal. Please pack your trash or place in the available garbage cans. There are port-a-potties throughout the camp area and a shower tucked in there to for washing sand off bodies and boards. Any houseless in the area further down the beach. I personally love lounging here when White Plains is overcrowded.

Growing up mostly on the West side (Ewa Beach & Kapolei) this was our go-to beach. I can't remember how long Kalaeloa, formerly known as Barbers Point, has been open to the public but pretty much since after that point we've been regulars. I am not even a beach/ocean lover but for the sake of the rest of my family I will visit. I'm a total beach bum type to just sprawl out on the sand, shades on and just play dead. That's why I prefer this beach to many others. It's not crowded or loud. Around the bushes it can be a mess with rubbish or lord knows what else... but for the most part, the sand and ocean is clean as can be I guess. Every now and then there will be lifeguards riding around on quads, checking on the perimeter. Makes me feel safe that someone's looking out periodically. Certain parts around the shore line there will be some tide pools to check out a tiny bit of shallow marine life. For the most part the waters aren't crazy rough, but never under estimate the ocean... The area that we set up tent is right after the "camping grounds" following the tall trees. There isn't really parking so you just find a spot on the side of the road and you're good. As long as we've been going, we've never gotten cited but still, I would park at your own risk. A little further down the road there is a beach park. I've attended a few parties there so I know you're able to have a bounce house and BBQ. I have never hosted so I would have no idea how to go about doing so. I've also heard there are cabins available to rent but again, no knowledge about that I can share... If you're on the West side and looking for a beach to chill out at, I definitely recommend having a beach day here. Be prepared and bring lots of snacks, drinks and shade. It is the West side, more known for being hot and dry! The nearest store would probably be Tamura's but still it's a bit aways so just stock up well to avoid beach bum interruptions.

I attended a get together over the past weekend & the restrooms/showersare NOT fit for anyone to use! The toilet area is "gross" there was 2 little girls that had to change their clothes 1 said to the grandmother it's "dirty" grand!And the showers outside I have NO idea what they where "weeding" put they just left it right where they weeded it by the shower ground where YOU have to step on to rinse off! Yuke yuku yikeyThe supplies I bring along with ME to any outings helped ME ~ this is what I bring: Toilet seat covers, Clorox, Alcohol, Wipes, a tension rod (in case there's NO doors on the stalls), Puppy pads to lay on the floor & Pine-O to spray on the surfaces & of course my own rubbish bag to put all those things in......My son went to use the restroom I told him to take the "care package" I packed 4 the facilities - he said MOM I only have to stand but he did take wipes...............Pack your own bags of goodies to stay clean B prepared!Ghost54
