Bellows Beach Park at a Glance
On a regular day, you’ll probably find a throng of neophyte
surfers and bodyboarders along Bellows Beach Park on
southeastern Oahu. Located on the island’s windward coast, Bellows is
noted for its clear waters and gentle breaking waves, which
allow surfers to catch the surf close to the shore. The soft
white sand also makes it a popular spot among beachcombers
and picnickers,
and the calm weather draws swimmers from all over the
island.
Rows of native trees provide plenty of shade in the
afternoons, an advantage you won’t find on many Oahu beaches. In the evenings,
the area can double as a campsite for those who want to
stay overnight. You can rent tents and camp supplies from
the shops, although it’s cheaper to bring your own gear.
If you’re in the military, you can reserve a two- or four-person
cabin at the nearby Bellows Air Force Base.
The beach is well-equipped. You'll find basic amenities
such as restrooms, showers and beach shops, and lifeguards
are on duty throughout the season. The beach also has picnic
areas on the shaded grounds.
Bellows is close to the main road, so there’s a fair bit
of debris and traffic noise. But what you should really
watch out for are the Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish, which
usually invade the beaches around 9-12 days after a full
moon. But they can occur on other days as well. There are
signs marking the jellyfish-prone areas, so be sure to stay
in the safe zone. Lifeguards can deliver minor first aid,
but even so, a sting can leave you out of the water for
the rest of the day!

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please
