Oahu's Best Beaches
Lanikai Beach
Rated the #1 beach on Oahu, Lanikai Beach is one of those postcard-type beaches- perfect for swimming, sunset and sunrise watching, sailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling.
Waikiki Beach
easily one of the most iconic beaches in the world, and the Oahu beach has become an epicenter for Hawaii tourism throughout the years.
Sunset Beach
A beach that varies dramatically when the seasons change? Sunset Beach is it!
Malaekahana Beach
one of a few unique ones in Oahu that is usually not overcrowded and free spots can be found very easily.
Kahana Bay Beach Park
If you’re not into swimming and just looking for a peaceful place to sit on the sand and relax, then Kahana Bay Beach Park should most definitely be one of your top choices!
Kailua Beach
Another great match of crystal clear water and powder-like sand is Kailua Beach. Only a mile from Lanikai Beach, this beach is often regarded as one of America’s top beaches.
Waimea Bay
Waimea Bay is considered to be the best beach for swimming on Oahu during the summer months.
Diamond Head Beach Park
Despite the fact that the beach is not suitable for swimming due to the jagged and rocky reef near the shore, it’s a surfer’s paradise.
Sandy Beach
Sandy Beach is known for its large waves that crash right near the shore, great for surfing or boogie boarding. It’s not entirely isolated, but it does attract fewer guests than most other beaches on Oahu.
Nanakuli Beach Park
One of the best places for diving in Oahu is Nanakuli Beach Park. Nānākuli Beach, which stretches for over 500 feet between two limestone cliffs, is a stunning stretch of shoreline. Kalanianaole Beach is another name for the Oahu beach.
