Kalae'o'io Beach Park, Oahu

Kalae'o'io Beach Park is located right along Kamehameha Highway on Oahu's windward coast. Even though it is just about one acre in size, it is a nice beach park with a sandy beach and a grassy area with picnic tables and trees. In the southern part of the park is a bridge that leads across a small stream. If you go close enough you can spot small fish in it. The nearshore ocean bottom is a mixture of rocks and sandy patches. A channel cuts through the reef here.

This beach is not yet that popular among tourists (tourists please don't read this, LOL) but as a local it is one of my favorite. Plenty of shade and good swimming in the summer. The only disadvantage is the noise from the highway.
