Ala Moana Beach Park

Ala Moana Beach Park is entered from the east via Atkinson Dr.; the west entrance is on Ala Moana Blvd. and Kamakee St. The 76-acre park includes a reef-protected beach with lifeguards, tennis courts and shaded picnic areas. While this generally is a safe area for swimming, tidal changes and winds can create strong currents. Aina Moana (Magic Island), at the east end, provides a close look at bay activities and an encompassing view of the Waikīkī shoreline.
