Review:
Located only about a 45-minute drive from Honolulu’s Waikiki Beach, Waimanalo Bay is the picture many people imagine when they think paradise: three miles long slope of fine golden sand shaded by giant ironwood trees, clear azure blue waters, blue sky, a light breeze, and endless ocean.
Waimanalo Beach is the longest white-sand beach on Oahu, and it is the perfect place for a romantic beach stroll and a bit of solitude. But on the weekends, especially in the summer, Waimanalo Beach is packed with families firing up their barbecues and kids frolicking in the soft surf. In the winter, since the beach is on the island’s windward side, the wind picks up and the water is much better for surfing than swimming.
