Waialae Beach Park is located right next to the Kahala Mandarin
Oriental Hotel (and near the Waialae Country Club) in Kahala on
Oahu’s south shore, about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Waikiki. Waialae
Stream flows right through Waialae Beach Park and into the ocean,
where its waters have formed a wide channel through the reef. The
stream divides the park into two sections and a white stone bridge
connects them.
Waialae Beach is narrow and sandy with some coral rubble that has
washed ashore. There’s a small man-made island at the east end of
the beach, which was built in 1963 during the construction of the
Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hotel. A surf site named Razors is located
on the west side of the channel. The beach park is frequented by
picnickers, surfers and windsurfers, but is never crowded. Swimming
conditions are fair here because of the shallow reef.

Waialae Beach is so cool! It is much better than Waikiki Beach, especially the part in front of the Kahala hotel. Love to go there!

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
