Kaiona Beach Park, Oahu

On a sunny day, the water has an amazing turquoise color and is so clear that you get the feeling you’re swimming in a pool. It’s for a reason that this beach is named Kaiona, which means “attractive sea” in the Hawaiian language.

Kaiona Beach Park is a popular camping site. The beach has also been used for many years as a community boat anchorage. In 1999, they community built a boat ramp at the south end of the park for small boats.

Two popular landmarks on the beach are the Pahonu and the Shriners Club estates. In front of Pahonu (meaning “turtle fence”) you can find the remains of an old fishpond; its walls were said to be 500 feet (152 m) long at one point. Legend has it that a former chief of the district liked turtle meat so much that he had the pond built in a way so that it maintained a constant supply of live turtles.

The nearby Shriners Club is a private clubhouse that opened in 1931. It is used for events like weddings, birthday parties and other gatherings.
