Kahana Bay Beach Park at a Glance
Surrounded on three sides by the majestic Koolau Mountains,
Kahana Bay is one of the best-kept secrets of windward Oahu.
Tourists often pass by the bay on the way to other attractions,
but few are aware of the scenic treasures that wait inside.
If you’re looking for a quiet beach on the island, spend
a day at Kahana Beach Park.
The crescent shores of the bay are set against a beautiful
backdrop of beach pines and the steep Koolau Mountains.
The sandy beach is a great spot for sunbathing, and the
pine trees provide excellent shade for those hot Oahu days.
Be sure to check out the natural fishpond draining into
the Kahana Stream. In the afternoons, the shore around the
pond makes a great spot for picnics and barbecues.
If you’re up for it, take a short hike up the mountains
and reward yourself with a sweeping view of the bay. The
hike is fairly easy even for first-timers, and there are
lots of stops and lookouts along the way. Wrap up your hike
with a dip in the ocean.
The water is generally calm and safe to swim in. However,
from June to September there may be some stinging seaweed
(limu) close to the shore, so watch your step on the beachfront.
Check the weather reports before leaving to make sure the
waters are safe for the day. Also bring your own food and
freshwater, as there are no concession stands nearby.

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
