Nanakuli Beach Park, located in
Nanakuli on Oahu’s leeward (west)
coast, is a 40-acre park with a long and wide sand beach (about 500
feet long and 125 feet wide – 152 m x 38 m). It is situated between
two limestone points and right on Farrington Highway.
There isn’t a lot of shade here and because the west coast of Oahu
is hot and dry, it is a good idea to bring plenty of water and
sunscreen.
Nanakuli Beach gets high surf and strong currents during the winter
months and this is when swimming is not recommended here. During the
summer however, it’s a nice beach to play in the water.

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 click here to
