Me and my kids absolutely LOVE this beach. It May seem crowded, but its really not. And its extremely accessible with free parking. The views are impressive and this beach gives the kids plenty to do with the waves and getting to see the Hawaiian Monk Seals! By far our favorite beach on Oahu. We've been to plenty.
