Review:
Over a mile long, Malaekahana Beach is located in Malakahana Bay on the northeastern coast of Oahu between La'ie and Kahuku. This beautiful white sand beach is perfect for long walks, ball games, and sunning. Most of the year, but especially in the winter when the surf is up, it offers great surfing and bodyboarding.
There are no lifeguards on the beach and the currents can be strong, so enter the water with care. On the south end of the bay, just offshore, is the small Moku'auia Island or Goat Island. You can swim to it or surf, and in low tide the water is shallow enough to simply walk there. The beach on Goat Island is even more beautiful, with white sand and green turtles that can be often seen. The center of the island is a bird nesting area and is off limits for people.
