Remember! Think before you go in..
Hawaii’s waters are deceptively beautiful! Make sure you never go out alone and everyone in your group knows where you’ll be! Always make sure there is a lifeguard on duty and don’t be scared to ask them about the conditions. Even the most skilled swimmers get in dangerous situations if they’re not careful.
If in doubt, don’t go out!

Ala Moana Beach and Magic Island
Bathrooms & Showers : Yes
Ala Moana Beach Park’s 76-acres fill daily with lawn bowlers, tennis players, joggers, picnickers, fishers, model airplane flyers, model boat sailors, sunbathers, surfers, and swimmers. At the east end of the beach is plenty of parking and there the ocean bottom is shallow and (mostly!) rock-free.
Kahanamoku Beach & Hilton Lagoon
Best South Shore Beaches
Bathrooms & Showers : Yes
Magic Island with its own sand beach and lagoon is also popular with swimmers and sunbathers. Surfers ride a spot called Bomboras off the west end of Magic Island’s seawall, and on calm days, scuba divers frequent the reef off the east end.
