Bellows Field Beach Park

Located about a half-hour from Waikiki near the small country town of Waimanalo on the windward side of Oahu, this beach is simply gorgeous and crowd-free most of the time. The shoreline is wide, and the sand is soft and thick. This is one of the only beaches on the island that can be closed for military training, and there is also a portion of the beach designated for those with military IDs. Surf break is consistent and fun for all levels, but kids should be supervised at all times since rogue waves can appear suddenly. No surfing is allowed between the two lifeguard towers. This lifeguarded beach comes along with free parking, picnic tables, restrooms and showers.
